Episode 166: Shifting Gears

This week we’re introducing you to an automotive student from the Pierce County Skills Center who has already received over 20 job offers … before she’s even graduated! We then shift gears to address some concerning news from Olympia. Recent legislative developments could have a devastating impact on our district's budget, potentially costing us millions of dollars each year. We break down what this means for our students and discuss what steps are being taken to advocate for fair funding. On a brighter note, we're excited to share why researchers from Johns Hopkins University are making their way to our district, and we also dive into a remarkable success story: how some of our schools have reduced suspensions by an impressive 75%!
