About this episode

While we gear up for season 4 of the Learning Can’t Wait podcast, we continue to revisit some of our favorite episodes.

This week, we delve deep into community schools! Hayley Spira-Bauer is joined by Luis Torres, the Principal of South Bronx, and Lida Casper, the Coordinator of Community Partnerships for Rochester, MN Public Schools, to shed some light on what defines a community school.

Luis and Lida share their experiences as community school leaders and reveal how a "hustle mentality" plays a crucial role in advocating for their students.

Make sure to tune in every Tuesday to our podcast at podcast.learningcantwait.com. Next week, we’ll revisit our conversation with Bart Epstein, founder of EdTech Evidence Exchange.

Every child deserves the opportunity to access exceptional education.
