“Weidinger was a police officer for the California State Police and then the California Highway Patrol for a combined 27 years. When he retired, he knew he wanted to work with young children so he could have a greater influence on their morals and academics.
He also knew he wanted to focus on math and science to try to make the subjects more accessible and engaging than when he was in elementary school. The San Francisco Education Fund’s volunteer program connected Weidinger with Cleveland.”
