Welcome back to When the Wind Blows...an Epic podcast for parents, teachers, leaders and anyone vested in world of education. I am Erin Barnes, host of the show...and today’s co-hosts are:

How did you get involved in education? What made you bring that to Epic?

Why I suggested this topic?

How much of your job is putting out fires that people have set...people who have no clue the law states or situation may be?

What are some of the misconceptions?
