In my view, the most important levels of government are found closest to home at the local level. Where services that impact our lives happen every day. City government, county government, and particularly, our local school boards have enormous influence on the health and prosperity of our community. And one of the most important figures working to help shape the largest school district in the entire state is Diane Albert, USD 259 Board of Education President. Wichita Public Schools is in a pivotal season where decisions are being made by 7 board members and the Superintendent. And they will undoubtedly have generational impact. In this episode, Diane and I talk about these decisions, these challenges, and so much more. I hope you enjoy this conversation with my friend, Diane Albert.
