EP 16: 🎙️ Building Great Brands — In Business, In Schools, and In Life with Dr. Jeannie Stone
In this episode of From the Playground to the Foreground, Jon Altschuler and Scott Bennett catch up with former classmate and ex-RISD Superintendent Dr. Jeannie Stone for a smart and lively conversation about what makes a great brand—whether it’s a truck stop or a school. Hint: Top pay is an important ingredient. And when the conversation turns to teacher pay in HPISD, Jeannie’s reaction to where the district ranks is somewhat unexpected.
From teacher pay, to private school vouchers, school safety, and why HPISD must invest in excellence to stay on top—they cover a lot of ground. And of course, some good laughs about their school days together!
