Back To School Moves AFTER classes Start... ...is happening more this year than in the past moving during the break between school years has tradtionally been the preferred path for most families  The Summer of 2025 Buying season was really drawn out and in a lot of markets, it never really happened it wasn't out of laziness or lack of desire to move but rather due to economic uncertainty whats interesting to me is that the number of home sales that took place in August that will close in September is larger than usual in the markets that I work in Florida where the school year has already started why now? Fed interest rates have remained unchanged all year home prices have increased - not decreased its inconvenient to move once schools starts my suspicion is that many have tired of waiting out the market and have made a decision to move now as the pain of living where they are at currently is greater than the discomfort of making a move in less than ideal circumstances this is true for both buyers and sellers at this time yet each side is taking a 2nd look at things and are finding deals that can make sense to both sides and with that there is more certainty on what to do next which is what causes markets to move listen in for all the details on where the market is heading      

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.

Children in the critical age window are hearing the gospel in public schools!

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.

Spotlight on Logan Schools with Superintendent Frank Schofield and business manager Jeff Barber

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. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Laura Meckler of The Washington Post. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy

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.

Across Washington, student vaccination rates have fallen slightly over the past few years, but those statewide figures gloss over some parts that saw pretty big declines --- especially in one southwest Washington school district. The data showed the Naselle-Grays River Valley School District saw student vaccinations for diseases like tetanus, polio and rubella drop by more than 46%, making it the district with the lowest immunization rate in the state for 2024 to 2025. But what’s on paper doesn’t tell the whole story. Guest: Lori Ashley, clinical manager for the Pacific County Department of Health and Human Services.

Alpine School District Communications Director Rich Stowell talks about the first day of school for students, teachers and administrators who work within Utah's largest school district.

Is money the determining factor to school districts producing students who perform well? Surprisingly, the answer is no. If money alone were the key, a small town like Steubenville, Ohio, in Jefferson County on the Ohio River and part of the Rust Belt, would not perform as well as Upper Arlington, Ohio, an affluent community.No doubt, adequate funding is important, but other factors are equally important, such as whether a child's basic needs in order to thrive and succeed in the classroom are met. Many children are part of families that live in a van or perhaps in abandoned buildings. Not all children have what many take for granted, like electricity, running water or heat. Some may not eat regularly and aren't clothed properly. And then there's the matter of social capital, that is, those community connections a family has. Steubenville provides a good example. Based on an audit of the Ohio Department of Education conducted by the state auditor, published in 2021, Steubenville ranks in the top 10 percent of all Ohio school districts in terms of performance. And it does so spending far less money per student than Upper Arlington.The reason Steubenville is able to spend less money on education and still achieve high performance scores is strong community fabric. When you have social capital and those close connections that exist when adults take an interest in the life of students and teachers, students perform well. One rural district has a practice of ensuring that all new teachers ride on the school bus to get a sense for how their students live. Think about what that level of understanding does for a teacher. Listen to our conversation with Tracy Nájera, Ph.D., and Howard Fleeter, Ph.D. Tracy has committed her professional career to improving the lives of children and their families, especially those most vulnerable in society. Her experience spans research, program management and implementation and public policy. For most of her career, Tracy has worked in education policy, tackling issues such as school funding, professional learning and human capital in education. Howard has worked extensively for more than 25 years with Ohio education policy-makers to improve the state's school funding system and is the owner of the state and local government finance and tax policy consulting firm Howard Fleeter & Associates. He serves as a research consultant on education finance and policy issues for the Ohio Education Policy Institute.

When culinary arts teacher Michelle Chung first reported mice in her classroom, she never imagined it would lead to a parasite infection, major surgery, and a battle against a school district determined to silence her at all costs. In this powerful follow-up episode, Michelle reveals shocking new developments in her fight for classroom safety and accountability.The situation has escalated dramatically since her first appearance. After paying her own money for a professional inspection that confirmed hazardous conditions, Michelle discovered the district had covered her classroom in bleach to hide evidence of mouse urine and droppings, creating a toxic environment that even hazmat-suited inspectors couldn't safely remain in. Rather than addressing the dangers, administrators emptied her classroom while she was on medical leave, removed her nameplate, and incredibly, threatened students with detention for mentioning her name.This isn't just about one classroom, it's a window into systemic failures that prioritize institutional reputation over health and safety. As Michelle fights not just for her career but for student wellbeing, her story raises urgent questions about accountability in our educational system and what happens when dedicated teachers stand alone against administrative corruption.If you missed Part 1 of the story, you can download and listen here!
