S01E19 – Policy Makers, Politics, Fiscal Responsibility, and the Future of Rural Education Post 2020 Presidential Election Cycle.

The Rural Voice is joined by Dr. Brad Mitchell, the Senior Strategist at Battelle for Kids. Brad was The Ohio State University/Battelle Director of STEM Partnerships, CEO of the Educational Council, a professor at The Ohio State University, the Director of Community Partnerships for the Ohio Children and Family First Initiative, and a team member of the National Commission on Excellence in Education. His work has been instrumental in evaluating and suggesting future directions in education reform and implementation. In this episode, we host a round table discussion regarding the potential future directions both presidential candidates have proposed for the future of rural education. We offer various critiques and analysis on themes such as the future of education in Rural America, use and deployment of funding for educational initiatives, availability of technology to all, and constructive partnerships between the public and private sectors in strategic planning education reform.
