Today we are talking with the honorable Adam Escotto, trustee of the board of education of Morgan Hill, California. He is a native of the San Francisco bay area. Escoto was a kid who at the age of 10 enter the foster care system. Later, he grew up to be a counselor for children in public schools, also part of the Federal Court Order Desegregation Team in the ’80s, and after years of experience in public education and serving children he was an assistant principal, principal, and held different positions as district administrator until he retired as an assistant superintendent.
Now as a retiree he is still serving children in public education and foster care. Now as a school board member, and as a court-assigned advocate for children in foster care. Today he will talk to us about his insights into the system that protect and educate children, and about his experiences from all sides of it.
We will listen today to some of his stories in many of his roles as a counselor, educator, public servant and children advocate. Stay with us to lear more about his path, but also about the institutions and the ideas behind them.
