American Education Week

District hiring needs

Emergency teacher licenses

State report cards

Closing north library

La Crosse School superintendent, Dr. Aaron Engel, joins to discuss state report cards, the district’s needs in terms of hiring, and American Education Week programs. Engel is also on the library board and discussed the decision last week to close the north branch.

We began, though, talking quick about education week and what the district has planned.

After that, we got into district needs in terms of hiring and also a recent Wisconsin Policy Forum report on the state using a lot of emergency teacher licenses.

We then spent some time on state report cards coming out for each school — which are not graded A-F, oddly enough. The School District of La Crosse has 18 schools under its umbrella.

Lastly, we discussed Engel being on the library board and its decision to close the north branch.
