Raymond and Alyssa sit down with Dr. Darcy Hutchins, CDE's Director of Family-School-Community Partnerships. Together, they talk about how Darcy's role at CDE came to be, the kind of work she normally does with schools and districts, and how strengthening relationships between schools, families, and communities has become even more important during the COVID-19 pandemic.
