Metro Ideas Project with Joda Thongnopnua - Part 2

In this episode Joda and I dive into the heart of their policy recommendations for education finance in Hamilton County. The conversation primarily revolves around Student-Based Budgeting, an approach to education finance that shifts the focus away from programs and onto students. We also explore the need to empower principals and the importance of communication in building trust between institutions and the people they serve.
