With the 2017-18 school year about to begin and a handful of developments on the education front- we’re sitting down with the Superintendent of Hendry County Schools, Paul Puletti. We’ll tackle economic disparity and learn how the Hendry County School District meets those challenges head-on.
We’ll talk about charter school funding in a county where there aren’t any charter schools, and hear how changes in public input laws might shape the materials children learn from.
We’ll also ask about the controversial move by one Florida superintendent to ban homework. Could that happen in other counties? We’ll discuss the possibility.
