Interview with Al Widner on "Keep Learning... Our Future Depends On It"
This week we talk with Al Widner who is the Superintendent of the Eaton County Intermediate School District. Al talks about an innovative initiative that is raising parental awareness of the life long implications for their children if they fail to obtain a quality education.
The initiative, called "Keep Learning... Our Future Depends On It" was responsible for sending parents of students "million dollar checks", representing the difference between the lifetime earnings of someone who graduates from high school versus those who have a bachelor's degree.
