Jennifer Custer - Reforming Chicago Schools
About this episode
Lissa and Thom discuss fiscal responsibility in Chicago Public Schools with board candidate Jennifer Custer.
When it comes to funding Chicago Public Schools, many believe we have a crisis of fiscal responsibility. In this episode, Lissa & Thom talk with CPS board candidate Jennifer Custer about how to best use $10 billion to better serve students. Jennifer shares her journey from student to educator to school board candidate, discussing the challenges of smart governance, and improving outcomes for students and teachers alike. Plus, you'll hear why you can't lead, if you don't do your homework. Then, Jenni takes our soon-to-be-famous Personal Pop Quiz for a glimpse into what makes her tick.
