We were in the studio for a new monthly segment we're kicking off, "Educating the Valley." We'll be having a conversation with each of the surrounding 6 school system superintendents. During the "summer break" we'll invite them all to the studio for a roundtable podcast-only conversation. If you'd like to be updated when that podcast is released and/or updated, send and email to thevalleytoday@royalbroadcasting.net to be added to the education podcast email list. Today, we talked with Dr. Jason Van Heukelum, Superintendent of Winchester Public Schools. We discussed his background in education; the upcoming budget season and his goals & reasoning for increasing teacher salaries; capital projects; and new programs within the school system.
