#13 | Irma Iris Duran

SA Talk

This episode invites Irma Iris Duran on to the show to discuss how San Antonio, as a whole, can improve the lines of communication between schools and households. Irma is the Community Initiatives Administrator with the City of San Marcos, but is still a resident of San Antonio and has been for many years. She is very involved with local school districts, non-profits, boards and even campaigned recently for an NISD board of trustees role.

During the episode, you will hear host Zach Espericueta and Irma talk about the challenges that San Antonio has faced in the past and what the school districts in the city still face. From the digital divide to the pandemic, many families have taken a step back in 2020 and even into 2021. The two talk about some of the ways San Antonio can improve and overcome those obstacles.
