Unraveling Education

Hi! I’m Danielle Ford, former trustee of the Clark County School District, which includes Las Vegas, Nevada. CCSD is the fifth largest district in the nation, with a student population of 300,000 and a workforce of 40,000. During my four years on the Board of Trustees, I witnessed the spending of over $20 billion dollars (Yes, that is billion with a B) of taxpayer money. I had a front row seat into the complex power plays, the manipulative strategies and the entrenched corruption that is happening not only in Clark County, but is prevalent in school districts nationwide. And that’s why I decided to launch this podcast. The primary goal of Unraveling Education is to expose the covert operations happening within the Clark County School District. Now we will be pulling one thread at a time, but be prepared- there is an intricate web of threads that cross and intertwine into one colossal, tangled mess! The episodes labeled “Storytime” feature my personal experiences, where I explain my learning curve, share my discoveries, and outline the reasons behind my viewpoints. Other segments offer educational content, deep dives into individual topics, and insights from industry experts. I recommend starting at the beginning with the “Storytime” episode: “Diary of a New School Board Trustee” and working your way backward to get the full picture. I’ve been told they’re very bingeable, so get comfy!http://UnravelingEducation.com
