Podcast with Baltimore County superintendent -- and others
Came across this new podcast with Baltimore County’s Superintendent Joe A. Hairston. In an interview, Hairston discusses his tenure in the school system and the meaning of the election of President Obama.
The site, aptly called District Leader's Podcast, features a number of other interviews with education leaders from around the nation. For those school junkies out there, it might be interesting to tune in to hear superintendents present and past, sharing their thoughts on leadership and education.

Dr. Hairston Two statements stood out most from your speech. First was the comment you made saying that there is nothing in our system that we can afford that we do not have. My question to you is what about virtual schooling? At least for the students who started your pilot program, you could have continued to support them like they supported you. They were self suffiencent. If you didn't think you would have the funds to continue why even start the program in the first place. and Second you spoke about the miltary lifestyle. What about virtual schooling for the families of the military? This would enable the children to stay with one school if the need came that they would have to move. Please continue to lead our county into the 21st Century and bring back Virtual Schooling as a k-12 option once again. And remember our children want to be apart of the Baltimore County school setting they just need to be taught from home.
Thank You
