In this episode, Laura and Andrew unpack the November Cobb County School Board meeting — from expanding the Vapor Wake canine program to the ethics silence surrounding Board Member and Vice-Chair Cristadoro.

They break down:

• The ethics issue raised by Cristadoro’s consent judgment involving $250,000 in client funds.
• Why the board chair’s defense statement didn’t represent all members.
• Concerns over transparency, misuse of funds, and trust in leadership.
• The rushed $2 million vote for more detection dogs — without data or public answers.
• Ongoing bus maintenance and safety issues still brushed aside.
• A bipartisan win adding mental health and meal support to legislative priorities.

They close with personal stories of gratitude, service, and the continued reminder:
 Every student deserves a voice, and every voice deserves to be heard.
