First hour: Rochester City School District Superintendent Terry Dade
Second hour: Summer of Food - Exploring the new visions for the Plum Point Lodge and the Park Inn
We sit down with Terry Dade, the new superintendent of the Rochester City School District. Dade signed a three-year contract with the district, and started the job on July 1. Previously, he served as assistant superintendent in Fairfax County Public Schools in the Washington, D.C. area, where he led an effort to improve some of that district’s lowest-performing schools. Dade discusses his priorities for the RCSD and his ideas for making improvements in a number of areas. We also talk about the current debate over a possible state takeover of the district.
Then in our second hour, we continue our Summer of Food series with a conversation about two places with deep Finger Lakes roots, but new faces and visions. We welcome the teams from the Plum Point Lodge in Dundee and the Park Inn in Hammondsport. In studio:
- Dan Eaton, chef at the Park Inn
- Chelsea Reinhart, organic farm manager at the Park Inn
- Natalie Travis, general manager at the Plum Point Lodge and Sapalta Dining
