On The Sound of Ideas, we'll check in on how the "Every Student Succeeds Act" is playing out in Northeast Ohio schools, and hear why local superintendents are calling it, "No Child Left Behind 2.0". Then, 40 percent of all food produced in the US goes uneaten. Congresswoman Marcia Fudge is introducing legislation to make it easier for businesses to donate excess food instead of throwing it away. We'll discuss the issue at large with her and meet those who are trying to combat food waste in the region.
