    When we think about the legacy we leave for our children, we have to ask ourselves if we are truly giving them the best possible start. In this episode of the Kids First podcast, host Keven Cohen and Superintendent Chris Neeley sit down with Dr. Oran Smith and Ryan Dellinger from the Palmetto Promise Institute for a deeply important conversation about the future of education in South Carolina. At the heart of this discussion is a simple but powerful belief. A child's potential should never be limited by their zip code. By advocating for policies where education funding follows the student, they highlight how every family can gain access to the unique opportunities that best meet their specific needs. We customize almost everything else in our lives, so why should education be a one-size-fits-all system? The group explores the recent push for universal school choice, the impact of open enrollment, and how healthy competition among schools ultimately benefits every single student. Whether a family chooses a traditional public school, a charter school, or another alternative, the ultimate goal remains exactly the same. We must empower parents to make the right choices for their own children. Listen to the full episode to hear why putting kids first is the key to transforming our educational landscape and building a brighter future. 🔗 Learn more: https://palmettopromise.org/ Hosted on Acast.
