KASS Live with Frank D'Angeles

In this episode of KASS Live, Frank D'Angeles, former principal of Columbine High School, joins the conversation to share what 27 years of leading through, and beyond, one of the most defining tragedies in American education history has taught him about school safety and superintendent leadership. From the daily work of building protective cultures to the long-term realities of community recovery, D'Angeles offers school leaders a grounded, experience-rooted perspective: safety is not a system to install, it is a culture to build. For Kentucky superintendents, this episode carries a direct message -- the most important investment any leader can make is knowing their people and being known by them. Strong culture does not guarantee prevention, but it is what determines whether a community survives and heals.
