Episode 29: Marty Blank of Institute for Educational Leadership and Coalition for Community Schools

Almost fifty years go, the Institute for Educational Leadership was formed to bring together leaders from diverse sectors to focus on building partnerships for educational success. Around that same time, Marty Blank was a VISTA volunteer in the Missouri Bootheel, and began his lifelong mission for social justice and equity. I talked with Marty about his journey, the work of the two organizations he runs and the growing Community Schools movement.
