An in-depth look at all things public education in the US. Does the district matter? Yes! Listen, laugh, and learn as a forty-year participant in public school leadership tells you why! Phil Stover started in public education as a school bus driver and retired from serving as interim superintendent of the second-largest border school district in the United States. In between, he worked in, with, and for somewhere around 100 districts. He developed strategies with districts to overcome financial, managerial, organizational, and climate challenges. 
 
Phil hopes to instruct, inspire (with humor and real-life stories), and offer insight to those who follow his podcasts and have an interest in or faithfully dance in the mind fields of public education. He will be examining all the internal and external forces for and against public education in the United States. On this journey, no subject will be left unexplored. Oh, and the names will be changed to protect the innocent and the guilty!
