On this special episode of the Restorative Works! Podcast, host Claire de Mézerville López welcomes three leaders transforming school culture in Worcester County, Maryland: Dr. Jenifer Rayne, Principal of Pocomoke High School; Carlton Cartwright, Community School Liaison and Restorative Practices Coach; and Lauren Williams, Coordinator of School Health and Mental Health. Together, they share a decade-long journey of embedding restorative practices into daily school life—creating spaces where trust, connection, and accountability thrive.  From early district-wide training sessions to the creation of “Restorative Practice Champions,” Worcester County Public Schools has built a living, evolving framework for fostering belonging. The team explains how conscious discipline, culturally responsive teaching, and adult-first self-regulation are equipping both educators and students with the skills to repair harm, navigate conflict, and sustain healthy relationships.  Jenifer Rayne is entering her eighth year as Principal of Pocomoke High School in Worcester County, Maryland. A dedicated and visionary educator, Dr. Rayne has led this small, diverse high school to national recognition, earning distinctions such as National School of Character, Gold School of Opportunity, and Apple Distinguished School under her leadership. Dr. Rayne holds a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Stevenson University, a K–12 Special Education certification from the College of Notre Dame of Maryland, a master's degree in School Administration from Wilmington University, and a Doctor of Education in Supervisory Leadership from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.  Carlton Cartwright is a restorative leader and educator with over 26 years of experience supporting student success, access, and belonging on Maryland's Eastern Shore. In his current role he leads initiatives that embed restorative practices frameworks into daily practice and strengthen school-community partnerships. Having received training from the IIRP, Carlton facilitates professional learning and student support systems across Worcester County Public Schools. He believes transformation happens when we lead with rather than to others—building trust, connection, and shared responsibility. His leadership extends beyond the classroom through service in his church, mentoring, and community engagement.  Lauren Williams is a seasoned educational leader and licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience advancing student mental health, family engagement, and restorative practices. As the Coordinator of School Health and Mental Health for Worcester County Public Schools, she leads district-wide initiatives that prioritize student well-being, inclusive leadership, and trauma-informed care. Her leadership philosophy is rooted in principle-centered values, collaboration, and the belief that lasting change happens with people, not to them. Currently pursuing her doctorate in Educational Leadership at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Lauren is a driving force behind restorative implementation, behavior reform, adult-first self-regulation practices, and community school transformation in Worcester County.  Tune in to hear practical strategies—like revising the district's code of conduct to reflect community-building values, integrating goals aligned with restorative practices into school improvement plans, and partnering with law enforcement for shared training.

What happens when a district actually builds career pathways students can feel? In this episode, Peter Hostrawser and Alli Dahl sit down with Jeff Stenroos (Director of Secondary Ed, School District of Beloit, WI) to unpack a builder's blueprint: Ford NGL-aligned academies, freshman seminar + mock interviews, tight industry partnerships, and a K–12 pipeline that makes work-based learning real.Jeff shares how Beloit:- collapsed 45+ pathways into 14 focused, credentialed pathways- shifted to academy teams (collocation) and an A/B block to protect teacher collaboration- scaled “Craftsman with Character” into youth apprenticeships with local manufacturers- landed a $100K robotic welding grant to stack student certifications- funds field experiences so teachers and students see industry up close- bakes in mock interviews (10th), college/career exposure, and portfolio milestonesIf you're a district leader, CTE/WBL coordinator, or community partner wondering how to move from posters-on-the-wall to systems that stick, this is your playbook.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and we want to remind all students and families to get to know your local and state resources. The value of all kids feeling safe in their schools and in their communities is one shared across the country.

Since the 2021-22 school year, Ladd Acres has been offering students the unique and enriching opportunity of participating in an apprenticeship program. The program has students apply for positions that interest them - such as student store managers, library assistants, assembly crew, event planners, etc. - and then interview before being assigned their role. The students hold their job for a semester, at which time they have the option of applying for a different position or keeping their current one. Students are “paid” for their work with student store dollars. “I had been thinking about how to best support my students with building the soft skills necessary to be successful both in the classroom and in the real world, as employees,” explains Principal Jennifer Robbins. “I wanted to find a way for them to start building those skills now, and that idea sparked what is now our Astro Apprenticeship program.” Read more about this program in an article Ms. Robbins wrote for the online platform Edutopia, which showcases innovative strategies for K-12 learning, on our website.

CAPSA's Josh Thompson -- Spotlight on Logan School District teachers

Thinking of running for school board? In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Judith Cruz, Former Board President, Houston Independent School District. Judith has over twenty-five years of experience as an educator, non-profit leader, and volunteer in public schools.   Judith shares her path to school board leadership—and what it really takes to serve well. Know your why – Serving on a school board is a powerful way to create change, but it's not easy. It's unpaid, political, and full of competing priorities. Judith reminds us that while advancing student outcomes is essential, sometimes the most urgent fight is preventing students from falling further behind. Be ready to work across differences – Even among seemingly aligned colleagues, interpersonal dynamics and politics can derail progress. Judith shares how she built trust and found common ground—internally within the board and externally with the broader community. Don't compromise your values – The toughest moments came when Judith had to vote against the wishes of those who helped her get elected. Her advice: stay grounded in your values and make decisions based on what's best for all kids—not just the loudest voices. Go grassroots or go home – To win her campaign, Judith knocked on 3,500 doors in six months, seven days a week. Her message: people matter. Conversations matter. That's how trust—and leadership—is built. Do your homework – Before running, Judith suggests attending civic and board meetings, asking questions, and learning how the system really works. Because once you're in, the work is real—and it's relentless.   Thank you, Judith, for sharing your inspirational and powerful journey.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/episode-111-run-for-your-school-board-with-judith-cruz

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.

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.

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.
