Summary
Today on the podcast, Jane C. Hu is joined by Cindi Barker, one of the original founders of Seattle Emergency Hub, to discuss how Seattle communities can prepare for disasters. Then Seattle Times’ education reporter Claire Bryan joins to discuss how new SPS superintendent Ben Shuldiner is doing, his clear passion for education, and his goal to make Seattle Public Schools’ ‘the country’s single greatest urban school district.’ They also discuss learning how to read, screentime, and the ‘wild west’ of AI in schools. City Cast contributor (and parent) Brett Hamil joins with his own questions and one tip for the superintendent.
