La Crosse School Board president, and Western Tech associate dean, Dr. Juan Jimenez, in studio discussing new class terms at the college and the school district's $53.5 million referendum question on the November ballot. 

Began the show, though, talking a bit about school getting ready to start and rule from the state that it can’t begin before Sept. 1, because the tourism industry needs child labor through the summer months, and if that rule should or could change with a different state Legislature.

Then we got into how Western Technical College (7:05) is getting set to implement, full time, new class term lengths and why it made that decision. WTC slow rolled that out over summer and is now doing seven-week- long classes full time. 

Lastly (20:35), we hit on the School District of La Crosse's $53.5 million referendum question for the fall election that will do these things: 

— Create eight new classrooms, new gym at State Road Elementary
— Tear down the Hogan Administrative site.
— Consolidate students from Emerson and Spence into new elementary at the Hogan site. 
— Close Hintgen and consolidate those students to State Road.
