I asked one board member if the session went well. They said no. There's certainly some controversy around the district's leadership right now, and I'm working on some reporting to shed light on how the board is handling it. More to come.

They said it was to discuss a personnel matter and a settlement. The superintendent did not return to the board meeting afterwards.

I’m always thankful and grateful to do the work. Thank you for reading.

I’m burning it at both ends a bit lately, and definitely have not been training jiu jitsu w the frequency I’d prefer, but I’m doing work I believe in again and starting to settle into this beat. It’s good to be here.

I fell out of love with news for a while after leaving Fox. That love of the craft is returning and I’m so grateful for it. I can’t speak highly enough of what we’re trying to do at Signal Akron. It feels good to be back to the work.

Much, much more to come, but I'm excited and proud of my start on the beat. If you're incline, you can find all of my work for Signal Akron at the link below.
