Will Biden's Student Debt Plan Payoff Come November?: President Joe Biden on Monday announced another round of student debt relief that could help tens of millions of borrowers.

Live from Queens, Part 1: The Chancellor: This is the first of two bonus episodes recorded live at the Queens Public Library on December 15, 2022. Mark and Max interviewed New York City Schools Chancellor David C. Banks. Banks was appointed by Mayor Eric Adams and is just finishing his first year on the job. The previous leadership of the NYC DOE had supported diversity planning processes in five school districts across the city, including District 28, the subject of School Colors Season 2. Once Covid-19 hit New York, these diversity plans fizzled out, but they were never officially cancelled. So we started by asking Chancellor Banks if he thought diversity planning would ever come back — and if not, why not? This event was co-produced with The CITY and Chalkbeat New York, and moderated by Chalkbeat’s Reema Amin. by School Colors
