Nate McGill, Principal of Ethel I Baker Elementary School in Sacramento, has become the voice for local families stranded in Afghanistan tells KFBK a family that attends his school is now back home in Sacramento.
McGill is just one of several local principals with students still in Afghanistan. We asked him why the family didn't leave earlier, like in the Spring, when the state department started urging Americans to leave. He says they were trying to secure paperwork for other family members and when the fall happened, it was faster than they anticipated.
