La Crosse School Board candidate Kevin Hundt in studio discussing his key campaign objectives, including a push to fire Superintendent Dr. Aaron Engel and his commitment to advocating for vulnerable student populations, including LGBTQ students, minorities, and immigrants.

Hundt also emphasized the need for the district to provide free school meals, arguing that state and federal funding is unreliable.

He highlighted a desire for greater collaboration between the district and the city and shared his opposition to the last two building referendums — the one high school plan and the current new elementary school plan.

We also discussed avenues to provide free school meals, as Hundt said the district can’t hope the Wisconsin state Legislature or the federal government will come through in that regard.

Hundt is one of seven candidates running for board. Read more about them here. The primary voting date ends Feb. 18, when the candidates will be cut down to six for three seats.

La Crosse Talk airs weekdays at 6-8 a.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska). Find all the podcasts here or subscribe to La Crosse Talk wherever you get your podcasts.
