Super Story - Inside EducationSprinkling the StardustSo this episode is a little different. I attended the National Conference on Education in New Orleans this spring and knew it would provide a great opportunity to hear from the diverse array of superintendent from across the country. I asked them all the same question: "What great things are happening in your school district?" I wanted to sprinkle the stardust around. The variety of responses was truly inspiring. There are interesting, innovative, and wonderful things happening in public schools from around the country. I hope you enjoy listening to these brief annecdotes as much as I did.2025-05-0215 min
