Welcome to the Kids First Podcast, where we talk to educators, school leaders, policymakers, and charter school acolytes about their stories.
We always start with “why” here…because it’s not just about a job, occupation, or field, it's about why we do what we do.
I’m your host, Chris Neeley. As the superintendent of the South Carolina Public Charter School District and the father of three amazing kids, I have seen time and time again the pain that a lack of access and choice in education can cause...but I have also seen the beauty and joy that educational autonomy can create.
So thanks for listening, and for coming along with us here at the district as we learn more about putting Kids First and why it matters.
