In this episode, Lorna, Kurtis and Jessica are joined by Rick Kutcher, an Administrative Specialist from ESC Region 13 with a seriously diverse background in education. Rick's journey from band director and principal to his current data systems role gives him a unique perspective on leveraging data in schools. He even famously took a failing school to an A rating in under a year, largely by using data to drive incredible results!
