MARKET TEAM GENERAL MANAGER Lauren Itz EDITOR April Kelley REPORTER Zara Flores
FROM LAUREN: And just like that, it’s time to go back to school. Growing up, the start of the school year always felt like a bittersweet ending to summer but also full of exciting new beginnings. I, of course, had no idea how much thought, planning and effort went into the education system as a whole. In this month’s annual Education Edition, we spotlight area K-12 schools, which includes district-level data (see Page 17). Lauren Itz, GENERAL MANAGER

Our local districts are doing the work to protect students, ease anxiety and comply with new legislation. Read all about it on Pages 32-33. April Kelley, EDITOR
