Show Notes
School’s back—and Shelton’s first week is humming. Superintendent Wyeth Jessee joins Jeff Slakey to take you behind the scenes: the maintenance and custodial crews who flipped spaces after the Bear Gulch response, the transportation team that kept routes moving, and why the district put English Language Arts instruction front-and-center on day one.
You’ll also hear a fresh Social and Emotional Learning moment from a brand-new counselor (the “wrinkly heart” lesson), how a simple hall-pass system keeps learning on track, and details on a new evening school-by-school forum series—plus an open invitation to tour a school while class is in session. We wrap with the first home football game doubling as a club showcase.
Tap play for a hopeful, practical look at what’s working—and how families can plug in this fall.
