Welcome to episode 2 of the Kansas State Department of Education Insight podcast.
This month our host Kansas Commissioner of Education Dr. Randy Watson welcomes students and educators back to school. Dr. Watson shares news and highlights from the August Kansas State Board of Education meeting.
Did you hear that school breakfast and lunch are free this year? We hear from Cheryl Johnson, director of Child Nutrition & Wellness on that important part of a students day.
Dr. Watson talks to KSDE's School Bus Safety Director Keith Dreiling about the, "Stop on Red, Kids Ahead!" school bus safety campaign. You can find more information on school bus safety at KSDE.org
We also hear from a select group of educators this month. We asked the question, "what did you learn from educating during a pandemic, and how will that help you this year in the classroom?" Very insightful answers from educators in our state.
