Topic: The importance of communication in running an urban school district

Guest: McKeesport Area School Superintendent Donald MacFann

Guest Host: Writer Adam Reinherz

How Topic Discussed: Donald MacFann was appointed superintendent of the McKeesport Area School District in January. What has he learned about the district during his time so far? What is the overall health of the school district and what are some of the challenges? How does he see the district meeting those challenges? How does the polarized political environment and the spotlight of social media affect his job, and that of other teachers and administrators? What are possible trouble-spots, especially in light of changes proposed at the federal Department of Education, and how will school districts need to meet them?
