Clear Connect Podcast with Derek Bird and Jason Burdine
April 23, 2026

AG|CM Director of Operations for Central Texas, Derek Bird, was featured on Episode 57 of The Clear Voice podcast for a thoughtful discussion on the critical role project management plays in the success of K-12 school bond programs. Joined by former school board member and board trainer Jason Burdine and former superintendent James Hopper, the discussion explored the value of early planning, community engagement, transparency, and experienced third-party oversight in helping districts navigate complex bond initiatives with confidence. The conversation reinforces an important truth: successful facility programs are about more than buildings alone. They are about creating environments that support student achievement and strengthen communities. At AG|CM, we are proud to partner with K-12 clients to deliver strategic guidance that helps turn vision into lasting results.
