About the Episode
The Austin community is navigating a tough moment, school closures that affect not just students and teachers, but entire neighborhoods and the sense of belonging that schools create. In this episode, we’ll explore the human side of these decisions: what they mean for the children, the families, and the educators who call these schools home. It’s not just about loss, it’s about what loss gives back: courage, clarity, and the permission to live fully again.
