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.
