Join former School Board Trustee Danielle Ford for the podcast that’s part story-telling, part information, and part “whodunnit”.
We’ll be investigating the underlying issues harming the public education system, and identifying the key players involved.
In this special 2024 Election Episode, I’ll explain why I semi-impulsively decided to run for Nevada Board of Education & showcase 3 candidates who are running for the Clark County School Board
My guest for this episode is Mike DeGuire. Mike was a principal in Denver, Colorado for 12 years, where he witnessed privatization agendas play out that led to half of the Denver School District being taken over by Charter Schools.
Joining me in this episode is CCSD educator, Robert Cowles. We discuss the upcoming CCSD Superintendent Search and history, National Superintendent training programs such as: Chiefs for Change, Broad Academy, etc. We both share our thoughts on what qualities the future leader of the Clark County School District should possess, what selection process should be used, and the Nevada State Legislature’s role in all of this.
You’ll learn the complete background of AJ Crabill aka “the mysterious stranger” & his sinister agenda for the Clark County School District. Then an update on the happenings in CCSD & the Superintendent Jara saga. I’ll explain the snazzy conference we attended with other school boards across the country, the national vendors we were introduced to, and the “really scary, frightening” epiphany that was had.
This episode contains: the questionable change to board governance a certain Trustee tried to sneak though for approval at a board meeting, I’ll take you through that meeting play by play. Then you’ll learn about that board member’s employment and candidate background. The names of the donors who funded their electron are sure to shock you and leave you with the same questions I had.
You’ll hear about my experience visiting Harvard University for school board training, some of the interesting people I met, and how I realized that all of the school board Trustees in attendance were being brainwashed.
The history of school boards and why they are so important to you and to your voting rights. I’ll begin to explain how all public school boards in America are under attack. Then fill you in on the current state of the Clark County School Board and the recent events that have chipped away at the trustees’ power even more.
We discuss the horrific racial targeting that happened to Akiko and Jshauntae’s children at school, which then led to: them organizing the community and launching a movement, me going viral for being racist, the creation of a district-wide anti-racism policy, and ultimately our friendship.
Why I ran for the Clark County School Board, what it was like as 1 of 10 candidates in the primary election, the difference between that and when it came down to 2 of us for the November general election, what happened in the 7 weeks before swearing in as Trustee, and the absolutely mind-boggling events that occurred during my 1st 6 months on the board.
The primary goal of Unraveling Education is to expose the covert operations happening within the Clark County School District. Now we will be pulling one thread at a time, but be prepared- there is an intricate web of threads that cross and intertwine into one colossal, tangled mess. Some episodes will feature my personal narratives, where I will explain my learning curve, share my discoveries, and outline the reasons behind my viewpoints. Other segments will offer educational content, deep dives into individual topics, and insights from industry experts.
