Michael Dunne: I’m Michael Dunne. Being in education is a tough job right now. Decreasing budgets, a federal government that’s seemingly de-emphasizing the Department of Education, and increasing pressure from social media, both for students and for teachers, all add up to systemic challenges. But locally, one public high school seems to be rising above these challenges to provide quality education and a vital sense of community. Today on the show, you’ll hear from the principal of South Eugene High School and hear what’s working for this institution, ranked among the best in Oregon. Then in the second part of the show, I’ll talk with a colleague at OPB about a story from another school in southwest Washington, where a post from a student on social media has led to a teacher suspension and the entire faculty looking over their shoulders. Kee Zublin, the principal of South Eugene High School, it’s great to see you. Thanks so much for coming in.
Kee Zublin: Great to be here, Michael, thank you…
