Break The Line: Poverty Vs Potential At Martha O'bryan Center, Nashville Tennessee

A new series that will pop up from time to time within Break The Line, this is the first installment of How To Build A School, where we chronicle to journey of Explore Community School growing from an idea to a real school serving hundreds of elementary and middle school students.  We speak with Jon Driskell, founding principal of Explore, about the story so far, and preview what listeners can expect to hear in this series as we prepare for opening day in July, 2015, and growing and building for years after that.
