The State of Education with Melvin Adams

Ep. 61 "How Parental Involvement Can Change a District" - Guest Veronica Gemma (Part 1 of 2)


Listen Later

Today, our guest on The State of Education is a woman who had no previous experience in the realm of education before becoming a member of her local school board. No experience—except that she loved her children and dedicated ten years to homeschooling them. After her children went back to public school in their teens, Veronica Gemma was dissatisfied with the low standards and lack of parental involvement her district offered. She and several other candidates decided to run for school board and take back parental rights in their community. Listen in as she recounts the victories and challenges that followed.
