We talk with the facilitators of a mentoring project in Madison that aims to support middle school boys. We find out how they hope to narrow the achievement gap for young people from lower income groups and racial minorities. On this week’s edition of Food Friday, we get some great Passover dishes that come from the Sephardic tradition. We also examine why so many state workers are leaving their jobs and how this may impact the state going forward.
