He was the superintendent of schools in Grand Island, Nebraska, when immigration officers raided a meat packing plant there in 2006, detaining about 250 workers without legal status.  \n\nThose arrests in Grand Island rattled the community. And the experience taught the now-retired administrator many lessons, which he recently shared with education leaders at a conference of the Colorado Association of School Boards. \n\nSteve spoke with Erin O’Toole in January about his advice for Colorado educators in the months ahead.\n* * * * *\n \nSign up for the In The NoCo newsletter: Visit KUNC.org\nQuestions?
