A new survey identifies the 250 most coveted school districts in America, and one of our local districts made the top ten in that list. Test Prep Insight ran a survey of 3,000 parents to discover which districts they would hypothetically most want their children to be schooled in, if given the choice. Turns out, Ridgefield Public Schools is the 9th most envied school district in America among parents. Other Connecticut entries included Greenwich Public Schools; Westport Public Schools; New Canaan Public Schools; and Darien Public Schools. #1 on the list is Lower Merion School District in Pennsylvania. We have a link to the entire survey on our website. Check it out HERE.
Ed Histed
Ed launched his radio career in 1975 and has spent more than five decades in the broadcasting industry. During that time, he has served in a wide range of roles including Air Personality, News Director, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, and General Manager at numerous radio stations in various markets across the country. Beyond on-air and management responsibilities, Ed has also worked extensively on the technical side of broadcasting. His background includes RF engineering and information technology, with particular experience configuring digital automation systems and remote voice-tracking platforms used by stations across the country. Ed was also among a select group of industry professionals invited by Google to its California headquarters following the company’s acquisition of Scott Studios. He was one of just 12 broadcasters nationwide chosen to participate in discussions and provide input during the design and rollout of Google’s digital broadcast automation platform. Although the majority of Ed’s career—spanning roughly four decades—was rooted in music radio, he transitioned into news and information programming in 2012. He says the move into spoken-word broadcasting was a natural evolution after decades of experience in multiple areas of the industry.
