SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, the largest credit union in California and the largest serving school employees and their families, today announced the continuation of its sponsorship for the “Future Pathways: Superintendents Unplugged” podcast as the second season concludes and recording for the third season begins. Produced by Cloudcast Media, the Classroom of the Future Foundation and the Center for Educational Innovation, the podcast provides a platform for San Diego County school superintendents to share their personal stories, leadership insights, and visions for the future of education.

Season two featured a range of compelling, one-on-one discussions with superintendents on educational topics such as student mental health, equity, and innovative teaching practices. SchoolsFirst FCU remains dedicated to supporting these important conversations, helping to amplify the voices of local education leaders through its ongoing sponsorship.

“SchoolsFirst FCU is pleased to continue our partnership with the ‘Future Pathways: Superintendents Unplugged’ podcast as it offers a vital opportunity for superintendents to communicate their insights and the incredible work happening in our schools,” said Josh Smith, vice president, school and community relations, for SchoolsFirst FCU. “These discussions are instrumental in shaping the future of education, and we’re proud to be a small part of this important dialogue.”

New Format for Season 3

Season three will introduce an engaging new format that pairs two superintendents in select episodes, allowing for deeper discussions on common challenges and collaborative solutions. This fresh approach will create more dynamic conversations on topics like school funding, district innovations, and student success, while still offering the in-depth, personal storytelling that listeners have come to expect.

Hosted by Drew Schlosberg, the podcast will continue to be an essential resource for parents, educators, and advocates. The first episode of season three began recording in October 2024 with new episodes regularly released.
