Case File #82: School Board Blues

Amid a sea of culture wars and post-COVID enrollment declines, school boards are facing increasing public scrutiny. Ten years ago, school board elections rarely made the news. Now, in cities across America, they’re dominating headlines, social media feeds and the minds of parents. In fact, you might say some school boards themselves have become the crisis. In an era of mental health dangers, safety concerns and curriculum controversy, how can we ensure we’re preparing the next generation for a brighter future? Host Roshini Rajkumar dives into this with Jimmy Sengenberger, an investigative columnist for the Denver Gazette. They discuss this crisis of credibility as once well-intentioned bodies become side shows. Plus, what parents and the public need to do if they want a return to "adults" in the room.
