Back to School & Betterment: Dr. Brad Buck and Todd McDonald Join In

This week’s Waukee Podcast brings you a special Labor Day edition filled with community updates, celebrations, and ways to get involved. We start with Dr. Brad Buck, Superintendent of the Waukee Community School District, who shares key updates as the school year begins. From the rollout of new bus passes to the exciting opening of Trail Ridge, listeners will hear what’s new and what’s next for our growing school system. Dr. Buck also discusses staffing levels, district priorities, and his hopes for a successful school year ahead.

Next, we welcome Todd McDonald, board member for the Waukee Betterment Foundation. With the annual Waukee Betterment Games right around the corner, Todd fills us in on how to snag one of the last remaining team slots before registration closes.
