Shelton School District Superintendent Wyeth Jessee joins Jeff Slakey with a candid update one month into the new school year. From tackling discipline challenges and supporting student mental health, to empowering kids through hands-on projects and leadership opportunities, Jessee shares why this year feels smoother than ever. The conversation also dives into the district’s new cell phone policy, the critical role of levies in funding enhanced services like counselors and librarians, and how parents and the community can stay engaged — including at this weekend’s Oysterfest.
