Next Steps Show With Host Peter Vazquez 5-21-24

The importance of education cannot be overstated. It has been the cornerstone of our society, driving economic growth by equipping individuals with the skills they need for employment and entrepreneurship. Education has promoted technological advancement and innovation, paving the way for a prosperous future. Parental involvement has played a crucial role in supporting students' academic achievements and personal development.
However, it was not just about economics. Education has played a vital role in social responsibility, providing equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their background. It has fostered social inclusion and mobility, and reduced inequalities by empowering marginalized groups and promoting gender equality. Here, too, parental involvement has been essential in ensuring every child receives the support they need to succeed.
Education has also preserved and evolved our cultural heritage, transmitting values across generations and encouraging an appreciation for diversity and global interconnectedness. Parental engagement had helped pass down these cultural values and foster a sense of community. It had been a key player in sustainable development, educating individuals about environmental issues and preparing them to tackle challenges and resource management. Parents are the leaders in instilling sustainable practices at home.
As we headed to the polls, we were not just choosing school board members; we were shaping the future of our community. Parental involvement in the electoral process was vital to ensuring the right leaders were chosen. Throughout the show, we discussed key issues, including the critical role of parental involvement, and provided you with all the information you needed to make an informed decision.

Education is a fundamental process essential for acquiring knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes, achieved through formal, informal, and non-formal methods. It underpins personal growth and societal advancement by fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability. Education contributes to economic growth by preparing individuals for employment and entrepreneurship, supports social equity by offering equal opportunities, preserves our cultural heritage, and promotes sustainable practices. As we approach the vote on our education system’s future, it's crucial to choose paths and leaders who will uphold these values, ensuring a prosperous and well-prepared next generation.

Next Steps Show Featuring Jim Vanbrederode 5-3-24

What do elections mean to you? Do they even matter? Voter turnout is low, support is fractured, and it seems like people are questioning the importance of elections. If they do matter, is it about party, ideology, or the person?
Jim Vanbrederode, the former Police Chief, knows what it takes to keep our communities safe:
Growing up, this community offered everyone the ability to safely raise a family, give their kids a quality education, and keep them here at home, helping to better our region for the next generation. It was an honor to serve as Police Chief, working with the dedicated men and women who keep our hometown safe.
However, our state senators have worked with New York’s career politicians to squander our community's best strengths. Albany’s pro-criminal agenda has made Rochester a place known for violence, not opportunity. Elected leaders in our area have caved to downstate interests, selling out our community to protect their own political futures.
Rochester needs leaders in Albany who will defend all members of our community. As a former Police Chief, I’ve listened to families from all walks of life about their challenges and am prepared to fight for solutions in Albany.
