New School District, New Approach to Education

A brand new school district near Pittsburgh is taking a brand new approach to preparing students for the future. Guests from River Valley School in Pittsburgh, Philip Martell, Superintendent of Schools, and Jeff Geesey, Educational Services Consultant, talk with host Tate Blanchard about creating programs and career opportunities for students at a much earlier age, prior to 9th grade, to meet demands of the business, labor and government for skilled workers, and to allow students who don’t go to college to be prepared to enter the workforce upon graduation. rivervalleysd.org
