Dr. Matthew Montgomery, Superintendent at Revere Local Schools
We talk with , Superintendent at , in Richfield, Ohio. They are fully opened up, unlike his counterpart up in northeast Ohio, Dr. Lloyd, who went fully remote. He gives us a little perspective of what superintendents are going through, how they're handling being fully open, where their preparations are for being online if they need to go online, and the general challenges that they're now facing in this era of COVID-19. School districts are obviously facing tremendous pressure. School administrators have been under tremendous pressure since March with very little leadership at the gubernatorial and national level, as well as giving them kind of the support that they need. This hits the schools particularly hard. And this has put tremendous pressure on our school administrators. So we agree with Dr. Montgomery's suggestion that a little kindness does goes a long way when there is any discussion between parents and stakeholders, and school districts, administrators and teachers. We spoke with Dr. Montgomery in about about how to manage a school construction project. is a podcast produced by Joel Gagne & Carole Dorn-Bell that highlights and investigates success stories in school communications campaigns.

Prepping for a School Year When You Don't Know What It Will Look Like
The truth is, administrators start planning for the next school year in January and February. Here we are at the end of the 2019-2020 school year, a year stifled by COVID-19. And we are still in the dark on what the next school year can and will look like. We certainly encourage school leaders to some time off to take a breath, but not too long. In this episode, Carol and Joel cover four areas to focus on as you continue your school year planning. 1) What are the different scenarios schools are walking into for next year? We cover three scenarios that are being discussed. 2) Communicate your expectations and what you know. And it still may be "we don't know." Keep over-communicating, but keep this over many social channels and accounts - Facebook, Twitter, email, etc. 3) Plan out your communication. Expect it to be much different than in year's past. And expect it change, so be nimble. 4) Financial conversation. Ultimately, you will only survive this financial situation when you communicate what is going on to your stakeholders, your parents and community as a whole. is a podcast produced by Joel Gagne & Carole Dorn-Bell that highlights and investigate success stories in school communications campaigns.

COVID-19 Crisis: What’s Ahead With Communication
We are so glad to be back again. We feel like I've been on a little bit of a hiatus. And we're sure you have been as well while dealing with the COVID virus. With episode I'm back with my co-host Joel Gagne. We sometimes podcast together on different topics that we see our clients and school districts face. In Part 1, COVID-19 Crisis: Where We Are Right Now With Communication, we talked specifically about how Coronavirus is effecting your communication in your school district. In this episode, part 2, we talk to about what's ahead, and how to effectively continue communications with your school community. When things get back to "normal," we need to accept that things are not getting back to normal anytime soon. And maybe not everything should come back. We need to take a hard look at how are we running business, so to speak, the business of schools, and how are we running different initiatives. The school districts that we've seen have the most success are diverse in how they communicate. They are flexible in their approach and have infrastructure to back that up. That's where the change is going to happen. School districts are going to create that type of flexible infrastructure for any scenario that comes up that might impact their learning environment. is a podcast produced by Joel Gagne & Carole Dorn-Bell that highlights and investigate success stories in school communications campaigns.

With episode I'm back with my co-host Joel Gagne. We sometimes podcast together on different topics that we see our clients and school districts face. This is part one of a two part conversation. We're talking specifically about the Coronavirus on your communication to your school district. And we're discussing what schools are dealing with during this pandemic shutdown and its effects. Communication matters. Tonality matters. Semantics matters. As Joel states, "...if you have a financial adviser and you're looking at your retirement account, one of the first things you always sit there and say is diversity, diversity, diversity. If you want to make sure that you that you're going to be stable, then your stock portfolio needs to be diverse. The same is true with communications." You just cannot rely on one communication platform or one way of communicating with your community. School districts have got to be reaching non-parents. They're taxpayers. They're the ones who are underwriting this school district. To maintain a level of credibility with them, you need to be able to explain the value proposition in what you're doing and how you're doing it.

A lot of businesses are looking for workers. We've covered that extensively in our podcasts, but particularly here, we focus on building partnerships. Businesses are now coming to schools, career centers, vocational education, saying "We need workers. We want to help you help you train our future workers, what can we do to give you the tools so we can get a workforce." As much as we talk about jobs and the economy, the bottom line here is it still many jobs are left unfilled because businesses cannot find workers who have the skills necessary.

What Do Parents Need To Know About Career Technical Education?
In this episode, we interview Superintendent of the , based in Fremont, Ohio, which is in Northwest Ohio. Today's topic is "What do parents need to know about career technical education?" Career tech is not what it used to be. It is something that has really taken off and for good reason. College costs are soaring. And students need alternatives to meaningful career options. And career tech is definitely the way to go in this new era of information technology, and technology in general. It's a real alternative to the thousands upon hundreds of thousands of dollars that students are committing to go to college, without not understanding or not sure what where they want to go. One of the things we need to do a better job is continuing to talk about how great career tech is. It really is a wonderful option for students as they want to continue to look at how they want to pursue their careers and how they want to go about it in a thoughtful and cost effective way.
