Shortly after Rona Wilensky "graduated" from the principalship of New Vista by retiring, she talked about the planning and creation of the school, its underlying principles, its nontraditional elements, its approach to serving English as a Second Language students, the community support it has engendered, and its successes. She also discusses some of the controversial and contentious political struggles that the Boulder Valley School Board experienced during the 1990s and the general social-cultural climate for students in Boulder.
