In this episode, Anne Brown talks with Dr. Andrea Norman, the new superintendent of Carlsbad Unified School District, home to more than 11,000 students in Southern California. Dr. Norman shares her unexpected path to becoming superintendent, the district’s unique “basic aid” funding model, and the work behind supporting both high-achieving and Title I schools. A great listen for education leaders, district teams, and anyone interested in strong school-community partnerships.
