A new report on education in our state is highlighting a teacher attrition problem.

The annual report on the state of education in N.C. saying that our state not only needs to get better at attracting quality teachers but also keeping them around once they’re here.

Dr. Mary Ann Wolf is the president and executive director of the Public School Forum of North Carolina, and Dr. Bob Luebke is the director of the John Locke Foundation’s Center for Effective Education.

These two education experts join us for more on this recent report.

North Carolina also has a system composed of two dozen residential psychiatric facilities, many of which aim to treat kids with severe mood or behavioral disorders.

But a new deep dive by WUNC is finding that those facilities often fall short of their goal of treating those kids and returning them to their families.

Jason Debruyn, supervising editor for digital news at WUNC, stops by to discuss his series on the topic.
