Unraveling Education w/Danielle Ford
🎙 Welcome to Unraveling Education – where we pull back the curtain on school district politics, power plays, and public education profiteering.
I’m Danielle Ford, former Trustee of the Clark County School District (CCSD)—the fifth-largest school district in the nation—and now a Nevada State Board of Education member.
Over the years, I’ve had a front-row seat to billions of dollars in spending, political backroom deals, and strategic corruption happening not just in CCSD, but across public education. And trust me—this is a story worth telling.
⚡ But let’s be clear—I’m not here to tear down public education. I’m an advocate for ethical reform, accountability, and policies that actually serve students, educators, and communities. Exposing corruption isn’t about destroying the system—it’s about making it work the way it should.
🎠What to Expect:
📖 Storytime Episodes – These are the heart of the podcast. I share firsthand experiences from my time on the board, the unexpected twists, the battles fought, and the lessons learned.
🔍 Deep Dives & Investigations – Following the money, exposing shady deals, and connecting the dots behind the scenes.
🎙 Interviews & Expert Insights – From whistleblowers to educators, we bring in key voices to help uncover what’s really happening in education.
✨ Where to Start?
Jump in wherever you like—but if you want the full story, the Storytime episodes are where it all unfolds. Whether you start from Season 1’s “Diary of a New School Board Trustee” for a first-hand look into school boards and governance corruption or dive straight into Season 2’s Pandemic-themed episodes, you’ll get a binge-worthy breakdown of what’s really happening in public education.
