Augusta School Board member Kati McCormick joins Chuck Ellis to talk about what’s happening in one of Maine’s most controversial school districts. A nine-year board veteran, she discusses trans athletes in girls’ sports, gender policies she says keep parents in the dark, how COVID exposed what she calls indoctrination, and the district’s cell phone ban.
Kati also talks about Title IX, a $41 million budget for about 2,200 students, girls’ safety and fairness, parental rights, and why local elections matter more than ever. The conversation includes school board clips and a call for more people to run for office.
