Current State #615 | September 29, 2015

Today on Current State: A discussion on how schools discipline special needs students in Michigan; a Public Poetry Announcement with a poem by Karl Shapiro; (SCENE) Metrospace reopens in East Lansing; our Great Lakes Month in Review examines Asian carp, toxic algae and oil pipelines; and the Jackson Symphony Orchestra opens their season.

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
