Golden Apple awards

Wisconsin Supreme Court race

Wisconsin school superintendent race

1980s artifacts kids aren't aware of

Jill Schams, co-president of the La Crosse teachers’ union, joined to tell a story about the mysterious thing on the wall in her classroom — a pencil sharpener.

We also discuss the big statewide races that could impact schools, including one that could eventually restore bargaining rights for public workers. And, lastly, Schams noted there’s still time to nominate school staff for the year’s final Golden Apple award.

In regards to the two Wisconsin elections, Schams discusses how the Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC) — the statewide teachers' union — is endorsing Susan Crawford in the race. The state Supreme Court could hear a case after the elections in regards to repealing some of Act 10. 

Schams also talked about WEAC endorsing current state schools superintendent, Dr. Jill Underly and how the state has moved up in nationwide rankings with her leading the Department of Public Instruction.

As for the Golden Apple awards, the deadline to nominate is March 26. More info can be found here.

Schams, a music teacher at Southern Bluffs Elementary School, is co-president of the La Crosse Education Association, along with Jesse Martinez.
