Trump wants to end the Department of Education

In this episode, we dive deep into the role and function of school boards. What are they, why were they created, and are they fulfilling their intended mission?

I share my personal perspective on the value of school boards, acknowledging that this is a complex issue with no easy answers.

I encourage you to share your thoughts and opinions on this topic. Let's have a respectful and thoughtful discussion about the future of education!
