Segment 1: New data analysis of Kansas City's public school environment.
A new analysis shows public and charter schools in Kansas City are more segregated, more expensive to operate, and more complicated than they were 20 years ago. We talked with two officials behind the report about these issues and others, and discussed possible solutions.

- Mike Reynolds, chief of research and assessment for Kansas City Public Schools

- Gloria Squitiro, author of "May Cause Drowsiness and Blurred Vision: The Side Effects of Bravery"
