Regionally Speaking, August 22, 2022

Sarah Gonzales for NPR

Today: We’re continuing the conversations about the state of education in Northwest Indiana. GlenEva Dunham represents teachers as the president of AFT Indiana. We recently spoke with her about teachers shortages nationally as well as locally. And Lorenza Jara-Pastrick is the principal of Bishop Noll High School. As parents look for in-person learning alternative options, she shares what she believes is behind a student exodus from public schools. All of that on this edition of Regionally Speaking.

As co-host and producer of Regionally Speaking, Dee is responsible for connecting with northwest Indiana community newsmakers to share their stories with the Lakeshore Public Radio listening audience. She believes in the power of storytelling to engag, teach and change lives. Prior to working at Lakeshore Public Radio, Dee enjoyed giving her time, talent, and resources to various community organizations. Dee believes in servant leadership. Her favorite quote is "Leadership is service not position." by Tim Fargo.
