In this episode, we dig deep into the Montclair school district. From crumbling school buildings to curriculum concerns and special education challenges, we share real talk on what it’s like to raise and educate kids here. Hear from newly elected Montclair Board of Education member Jada Roman on what she would like to have the the board prioritize: improving facilities, hiring a superintendent, and supporting special ed.

We also chat with Danielle Neff, creator of the Montclair Moms, Dads, and Parents Facebook group, who breaks down what families in town care most about. Plus, student voices, raw experiences from parents, and a powerful discussion with disability advocate Alma Schneider.
