Join us for a quick look at the layers of support we provide students in the areas of academics, social/emotional and behavior Dr. Beutel is the Executive Director of Pupil Services.  Her departments provide the net that all of our students are supported by in one way or another.  If you ever wanted to know how many layers, levers or inner workings are at play within this little thing we call "school", give this a listen.  Joelle Woolsey wows us with some really good, thought provoking questions.  

If you want to reminisce about the good old days, 80s bands, hairstyles....then pick up some juicy insight on snow day decisions, and hiring in Platte County, this episode if for you.  It is a bit longer than most of our episodes, so pick this one if you want you workout to be a bit longer.  Thank you to Anna Kampmeyer (or should I call her Chloe), student podcaster with some great questions.  I think she really stumped him.  Thank you Dr. Rob Gardner for coming in on such a crazy morning.
