]]> C. Michael Robinson Jr., Akron Public Schools’ new superintendent, is a dreamer, and he wants to help Akron’s students – and the city itself – learn to dream up a positive future for all.

Robinson sat down for an interview with Ideastream Public Media on Monday, roughly two and a half months into his tenure in Akron. The former chief academic officer at the East Baton Rouge Parish school system noted that at various points in his life he’s wanted to be a civil rights attorney, an actor and a writer. He has self-published a book about teaching Black boys how to read but isn’t sure if, or when, he’ll ever get around to the two other careers.
