First hour: Pittsford Central School District Superintendent Mike Pero on reopening
Second hour: Discussing the psychology of political signs
September 8 marks the first day of school for students in the Pittsford Central School District. Administrators, teachers, and families have spent the summer preparing for students to be back in the classroom – either in-person or remotely. This hour, we continue our series of conversations with local superintendents about reopening schools. We’re joined by Pittsford Central School District Superintendent Mike Pero, who shares his district’s plans for learning models, masking, testing, and more. Our guest:
- Mike Pero, superintendent of the Pittsford Central School District
Then in our second hour, it’s the time of year for political yard signs and flags, but this election season feels different. Neighbors tell us that political signs elicit powerful emotions, sometimes anger. And some listeners tell us they are afraid to put up political signs because they don’t know how their neighbors will react. We talk about the psychology of political signs and why they feel so divisive this time around. Our guests:
- Seth Steinehour, Rochester resident
- Andrea Holland, Rochester resident
- Eric, Rochester resident
- Terry, Rochester resident
