Common Good Vermont: Educational Leaders - Making a Difference!

Description

Leadership is all around us. Host Mark Furnari speaks with Jeff Binay, the long standing Director of Indian Education for Franklin County Public Schools which serves approximately 620 Abenaki students, K-12. The Indian Education program is a comprehensive initiative which supports Abenaki students through a myriad of services ranging from in-school programs to after-school cultural endeavors. The program is guided by the belief in self determination for Abenaki parents reflected in a very active Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) comprised of sixteen Abenaki parents, elders, students, and teachers, which oversees all educational and cultural supports for Abenaki children enrolled in area public schools.
