CCSD Superintendent Search, Chiefs for change & Broadies Scam, Educational “Reforms”… and more! Transcript

Greetings! I’m Danielle ford former trustee of the Clark county school district 

As you’ve probably heard, Superintendent Jara, aka “my arch nemesis’, is officially out for good this time and the search for a new district leader is afoot!

In this episode, I talk with CCSD educator of 17 years, Robert Cowles. 

Aside from his educator perspective, he has deep historical knowledge of the district and governance happenings. 

He’s a wealth of information and often sees answers before anyone else so I wanted to grab his insights into some issues like:

• CCSD’s Superintendent history
• National superintendent training programs such as: Chiefs for change, Broad Academy, and others
• Qualities for a Future Superintendent
• What Selection process should be used
• Nevada state legislature’s role in all of this 

Robert and I both have ADHD so naturally we also covered topics like…

• Education issues like Literacy and pre-k
• The Cuban missile crisis
• The Great Recession
• Cell phones in class
• Video games and the bizarre fascination kids have with watching other kids play video games
• Barbie 

…and more

Now on to the main event…

A lot was mentioned in this interview. Robert and I veered away from the topic at hand quite a few times but we found our way back… 

I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially about the upcoming CCSD superintendent search process and whether or not you think a great superintendent could start to repair the teacher shortage issue in CCSD.

I’d love to hear directly from educators who have left the Clark County School District within the last few years and still live in Clark County, so please share this episode directly if you know anyone.
