Dr. Anthony Vlaudu is the next guest on Education Matters, the on-going WHRV series that focuses on issues facing today's educators. Dr. Vladu has led the Gloucester County Public Schools since 2023 after serving in the military, and working as a career educator, including being a classroom teacher and principal. How are the Gloucester Schools progressing five years after the pandemic shut down? What initiatives are being implemented to ensure student success? How has the role of Superintendent changed in an era of social media and heightened cultural wars with schools often at the epicenter? We're taking your calls with Dr. Anthony Vladu, live from the WHRO studios. Tuesday at noon on WHRV.
