<<NEW POD ALERT>>

This week @DrMRinehart and I visit with @DrHenson2 - Superintendent of @MarlinISDTX in @Region12.

A @UHouston and a @UTAustin alum, Dr. Henson shared his powerful journey from urban education leadership to rural transformation, offering listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the turnaround of Marlin ISD. We explored how he defines success in a rural district, the bold strategies he’s used to raise accountability scores, pass a $32 million bond, and build a culture of high expectations.

The Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) sends money to rural and low-income schools. Nearly all statisticians and data experts responsible for determining if schools qualify will soon be out of jobs, making it unclear how the grants remain intact. https://t.co/3pn7sehJBS

It was a blast! You guys are doing awesome work!!!
