PODCAST: On this episode of the WGNS Action Line, host Scott Walker sits down with Dr. Jeff McCann, Choice School Coordinator for Rutherford County Schools, and Melinda Walters, Choice School Specialist, to break down everything parents need to know about the 2025–2026 School Choice application season. With applications opening in December and available seats being published no later than January, this timely discussion answers the most common questions about how the program works, who is eligible, how the lottery functions, transportation issues, sibling priority, academic pathways, and what has changed for families since last year.

Whether you're a parent considering STEM, arts, IB, career-track programs, or simply a family wanting an option outside your zoned school, this episode gives you the clarity you need before deadlines arrive.
