A clear voice on California public education.
Office Hours with Dr. Olsen explains California public education in plain language: who makes decisions, where the money comes from, how policies reach classrooms, and why understanding the system matters.
Press talking points
Public education is easier to understand when we see it as circles around the child, not a simple chain of command.
Teachers shape daily experience, but they do not control every curriculum, staffing, budget, or policy decision.
School boards matter because they set local direction, approve budgets, adopt policy, and oversee the superintendent.
Better questions lead to better advocacy.
Influence and authority are not the same thing.
