Wentzville School Dist. heard public comment about a middle school teacher's controversial comments. We talked to a concerned parent

A school's nutrition department runs like a self-sustained business, covering everything from food and labor to equipment repairs and benefits without support from the district’s general fund, explains Stacy Nelson, food and nutrition director with the School District of the Menomonie Area. Each meal served generates between $0.50 and $4.70 through federal and state reimbursements, making participation the lifeline of the program, she explains. That’s why the loss of the Local Food for Schools funding, which was supposed to bring another $9 million to Wisconsin schools this year, hit hard for schools, farmers, and communities alike. Still, Nelson and other nutrition leaders are finding creative ways to keep local food on students’ plates. Sometimes that means sourcing “seconds” from orchards — apples that don’t make the cut for U-Pick customers but are still perfectly good for school lunches — or working with local farmers to plan special events. This fall, a group of Dunn County dairy farmers teamed up with the district to launch “Eat Local Day,” featuring grilled cheese made with Wisconsin cheese and paired with homemade roasted tomato soup prepared with fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic from a nearby farm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kent School District just taught kids the worst civics lesson imaginable. We keep learning more details about the background and ideology of Charlie Kirk’s alleged murderer. // KOMO had a headline about local crime rates that was (unintentionally) factually inaccurate. Comcast is suing Washington over a new tax on digital advertisements. // Washington has finally beat California in having higher gas prices. Washington State Ferries are testing out allowing people to bring their dogs on deck.

Of the 20 districts we reviewed, only some had adequate access controls for their accounting systems, and very few had adequate written policies. School districts use accounting systems to manage their expenses and report on their financial information. It's critical that school districts protect their accounting systems against unauthorized access. School districts are not required to follow the state's IT security policies. We compiled a set of IT security and accounting best practices to evaluate school districts' access controls for accounting systems. We reviewed accounting system access control policies and practices for 20 judgmentally selected school districts across Kansas. None of the 20 districts we reviewed had adequate IT security access control practices in all 3 categories we evaluated. Almost all school districts we reviewed (19 of 20) lacked all expected account management control practices within their accounting systems. Most school districts we reviewed (16 of 20) also did not have all expected identity management practices in place within their accounting systems. About half of the school districts we reviewed (11 of 20) had all expected controls in place to limit user access to their accounting systems, and most school districts had at least 4 of the 5 controls we reviewed. Finally, very few of the 20 districts we reviewed had adequate written policies related to any access controls for their accounting systems. Smaller school districts tended to lack more access controls for their accounting systems, but all districts could benefit from formalized policies. KSDE told us that districts have been moving to computerized systems quickly, and it was not surprising that districts have very few policies.

At HSD, we know that attendance isn't just about being in school, it's about giving students the best chance to learn, grow, and feel connected. When students miss school, even a few days here and there, those absences can add up quickly and create barriers to academic success. Building strong attendance habits at the beginning of the year sets the tone and is a powerful predictor of success later on. That's why we're celebrating Attendance Awareness Month this September with the theme: Here Today, Ready for Tomorrow!, which reminds us that showing up every day prepares students for success in school and beyond.Families play the most important role in building strong attendance habits. Just as you monitor your child's grades, setting clear expectations for attendance and keeping track of absences helps ensure missed days don't turn into academic trouble. By partnering with schools and community resources, families can help address challenges that make getting to school difficult.You can help by…Making attendance a priority. Aim for your child to attend school every day, on time.Communicating with school staff. Let teachers or counselors know if you face barriers to getting your child to school.Tracking absences. Keep an eye on days missed so small gaps don't add up to big setbacks. AndPartnering with schools. Ask about your child's progress and how attendance connects to their learning.Additional information about how to support your student can be found on our HSD Attend Achieve webpage, Our featured event is the sponsorship of W.L. Henry Elementary School by Royal Moore Subaru through their annual Share the Love Event. This year's donation totaling $15,000 includes both supply kits and a $500 adoptaclassroom.org shopping allowance for every classroom teacher, which will allow staff to purchase materials tailored to their specific needs. “We are so very grateful for Royal Moore Subaru's continued support,” exclaims Principal Lisa AguilarFasel. “Between the gift boxes filled with supplies and the $500 for each teacher, we are able to support more art literacy aligned to content, hands-on experiences with manipulatives, items for reading and math centers, and social-emotional learning tools and incentives.” Many thanks to Royal Moore Subaru and all of the donors who support our students and schools!

Marc Copani, a former professional wrestler who goes as Muhammad Hassan, is my following guest. Mr. Copani introduced Muhammad Hassan, one of the most ferocious antagonists in WWE history, in 2004. He was an American of Arabic descent who would praise Allah and condemn the United States for the 9/11 tragedy. Copani's controversial reputation led to him working with superstars like The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan. He's on my show because, after being released in 2005, he went into teaching, became an assistant principal, and is currently working as an HR specialist for Fulton's School District in New York. This is inspiring, in my opinion. In order to welcome Marc Copani, also known as Muhammad Hassan, to Autism Rocks and Rolls, I would want your help.

National Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month is the period from September 15 to October 15, where we pay particular attention to the contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans in the United States, and celebrate the group's rich heritage and diverse cultures. This timeframe encompasses the independence days of several Latin American countries: Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. It's also an ideal time for us to restate our commitment to providing safe and welcoming schools for all students, regardless of immigration or any other status. Students who identify as Hispanic or of Latino heritage comprise 41 percent of our population in HSD, which is the largest of any demographic group. We believe our multilingual community brings a tapestry of linguistic and cultural assets and are proud to serve these students through a variety of programs - some of which serve them specifically, others of which are accessible to students of all backgrounds. Our PK-12 Dual Language programs serve more than 3,500 students who learn in both Spanish and English, and expand their socio-cultural competence. We have a thriving Latino Parent Advisory Council at the district level, and several “paquitos” at the school level to help ensure our Spanish-speaking families can receive information and provide feedback in meaningful ways, and help our district and schools with events and programming that celebrates their cultures and customs. Our schools will be sharing relevant information with students about events, people, and customs connected to Hispanic and Latino Heritage over the course of the next several weeks. The City of Hillsboro and Centro Cultural are also hosting a wide range of events, including the El Grito Festival, Binational Health Fair, and more. And save the date of Thursday, October 2, for HSD's Hispanic Heritage event featuring activities, entertainment, food, and community.Our featured event was the kick-off to the 2025-26 school year, which officially began on Wednesday and Thursday, September 3 and 4. Students and staff alike were excited to get back to class and embark upon a new year of learning, growth, and memories in the making. Visit our website to see a gallery of photos.Having complete and accurate information about each student and family is critical to ensuring we are able to contact you in case of an emergency.

In this conversation from a Joy 101 event earlier this year, Wayman sits down with Hoda to share how she inspired real change in her students and how she's continuing that work in her latest chapter.

Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone. The Minneapolis Catholic school tragedy that happened yesterday is raising safety concerns for schools nationwide. There have been multiple shootings by transgender individuals over the last few years. Ken interviews Owen Henry, NJ State Senator. Owen and Ken break down how school funding is being mismanaged in New Jersey's school districts. School districts in New Jersey must focus on ensuring that all students are proficient in speaking English. However, New Jersey's Democratic politicians have financially invested heavily in offshore windmill projects, which has exacerbated the state's energy crisis, rather than using the funds for school projects and developing a plan to reduce energy costs. Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone. The Catholic school shooter, Robin Westman, could have had mental issues stemming from being transgender that motivated him to cause yesterday's massacre. Ken interviews Dr. Norman Fried, Trauma and Bereavement Specialist. One of the most significant factors that creates trauma is a lack of safety. Dr. Fried breaks down his technique of psychologically calming down children who have Trauma due to a tragic event in their lives, like yesterday's shooting in Minneapolis. Mental illness is a serious topic that needs to be discussed in children and adults.

In this explosive conversation, former School District teacher Laura Boulton reveals the disturbing pattern of institutional failure that she uncovered during her 23-year teaching career. What began as standard mandatory reporting of student disclosures about sexual assault evolved into something far more sinister—a suspected pedo ring within the district with connections potentially dating back to the 1980s.Boulton, an immigrant from Malaysia who built her American dream through education, shares how her commitment to student safety ultimately cost her the career she loved. After students reported sexual misconduct to her—both peer-to-peer incidents and staff-student violations—she discovered the district was systematically mishandling these reports, directing teachers to report only to administrators rather than law enforcement as legally required.The consequences for Bolton's advocacy were severe. Twice suspended and eventually forced to resign, she faced what she describes as the district's four-part strategy: "delay, deny, discredit, distract." Yet in a bewildering contradiction, the district paid her $400,000 in a settlement while simultaneously banning her from all district properties until 2027.Through her nonprofit Phoenix Advocacy, Boulton now helps families navigate similar situations, working with law enforcement and politicians to reform mandatory reporting protocols. Her message is clear: the safety of our children must transcend politics, institutional reputation, and personal career considerations.For parents, educators, and concerned citizens, this conversation serves as both a warning and a call to action. As Boulton powerfully states, "We were all children once and we all deserve to be safe."To learn more about her story, CLICK HERE.

Send us a textIn this episode, Dr. Paul “Paulie” Gavoni sits down with Dr. Rick Surrency, Superintendent of Putnam County Schools in Florida, to explore how one of the lowest-performing districts in the state transformed into a model of success.When Dr. Surrency took office in 2016, Putnam County Schools faced daunting challenges: a graduation rate under 55%, multiple failing schools, and a community that many considered on the decline. Fast forward to today, and the results speak volumes:Graduation rate increased to over 92%Every failing school eliminated$300+ million secured to rebuild aging campusesRecognition as Florida's Superintendent of the Year (2023)Dr. Surrency shares the leadership principles, strategies, and hard choices that fueled this turnaround, including how to:Align education with real-world opportunities through programs in aviation, advanced manufacturing, and beyond.Create systems that reinforce both academic achievement and vocational readiness.Rebuild trust and pride in a community once considered a “dying district.”This conversation goes beyond statistics. It's about values-driven leadership, equipping students with skills that match their passions, and building schools that serve as engines of hope for families and communities.

Aug. 21, 2025- New York City mayors have had control over the school districts in the five boroughs for more than two decades, but could a system work in other communities? We try to answer that question with Maxwell Herrera, a policy analyst for the Rockefeller Institute of Government, and Brian Backstrom, director of education policy studies for the Rockefeller Institute of Government.

As states roll out or expand private school voucher programs, many public school districts are trying new ways to recruit families and keep their schools open. In Arizona, the national model for school vouchers, families can get up to $7,500 per child. But critics warn that it diverts critical funding from struggling schools.

For landlords, school districts can make or break an investment. Families will pay a premium to rent in top-ranked districts, but today's high prices and interest rates make cash flow nearly impossible in these areas. In this episode, we dive into the latest Realtor.com data showing million-dollar-plus price tags in elite districts like Carroll ISD in Texas and Laguna Beach in California, where even $9,500 rents don't cover costs. We'll also explore why mid-tier schools—rated 6 or 7—often represent the real sweet spot, balancing affordability, cash flow, and tenant stability, and how revitalization, zoning, and tech-driven growth are reshaping the equation.
