On today's show...
We explore how a community can elevate its schools. One way to do so is by supporting local education nonprofits.
The Promising Futures Fund has filled four new positions at Jefferson High School in Sioux Falls. Steve Hildebrand, its founder and chair, explains the goal of this program and other initiatives at the fund.
He is joined by Dan Conrad, assistant superintendent at the Sioux Falls School District and the former principal of Jefferson High School.
Stacy Jones also joins the conversation. She is the chief executive officer of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sioux Empire. She previews a new addition to McGovern Middle School in Sioux Falls (1:10-11:24).
Our Teacher Talk panel explores the research behind cell phone bans in schools. Gina Benz and Jackie Wilber are our educational guides for today's conversation (30:24-49:21).
