In this episode of The Rachael Maves Podcast, Michael Krause shares his journey from substitute teacher to school board member and reflects on the lessons he has learned along the way. He discusses how the pandemic exposed longstanding learning gaps and why addressing academic recovery, mental health, and the needs of the whole child must remain a priority. Michael also explores the value of private-public partnerships, stronger parent engagement, and honest evaluation of educational programs to ensure meaningful impact. This conversation offers practical insight into how school boards and community leaders can better support student success in a rapidly changing landscape. Episode Notes
