A new school year - and a new twist on The Supe's On!
Supe's on! We flipped the script to ask Superintendent Cook the questions.
For the first episode of his sixth podcast season, Superintendent Steven Cook switches seats and becomes the guest. Communications Director Scott Maben asks Dr. Cook about leading Bend-La Pine Schools, staying connected to classrooms, working with the School Board, preparing for a new school year, and what families can expect in 2026-27.
They also talk school construction, new instructional and grading practices, student assessments, family communication — and what it’s like when the superintendent steps in as a kindergarten substitute teacher.
Listen to the latest episode of The Supe's On.
