W2S recorded Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz as he presented his school district consolidation study at the North Collins Public Library on May 7 to a packed room. 

This is the beginning of a county-wide conversation about the opportunities and challenges inherent in looking for ways to achieve cost savings while maintaining and improving our educational system. 

In our last episode, SGI school board member Tyler Sullivan referred to this quote: We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. - Albert Einstein

Poloncarz is offering a new way of thinking about our school districts. In the opinion of this podcast, that's called being part of the solution.

 

About 46 minutes.
