Talk of the Rock

Almost two weeks ago, Republican presidential candidate John McCain selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Now that the shock has somewhat worn off, what do folks in Kodiak think about?

Classes resumed this week in the Kodiak Island Borough School District, and on KMXT’s Tuesday Talk of the Rock, host Jay Barrett discusses the state of the schools and why a new high school is needed in Kodiak. He’s joined by guests Ron Fried, KIBSD assistant superintendent, and district director of operations Scott Williams.
