In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Harbron about starting up another school year in Dover. They discuss Dr. Harbron's seven years as Superintendent, changes being implemented this year, such as further development of multi-tiered systems of support, meeting students' social-emotional and mental health needs, teacher recruitment challenges amid a nationwide teacher shortage, and further affected by the pandemic. Dr. Harbron expresses his continued passion for making a positive difference in students' lives after 50 years in the profession.

In This Week in Dover History, we take a short jaunt back in time to the opening of Dover's new public middle school.
