La Crosse Schools superintendent Engel on 5th graders putting governor in precarious spot, plus more on $53 million referendum

School District of La Crosse superintendent, Dr. Aaron Engel, joins to discuss more on the $53.5 million referendum to build one elementary and update another, plus how nervous he was when fifth-graders had Wisconsin's governor in a precarious situation. Engel discusses how the weekly public sessions have been attended over the past month, with six more to go before the November election cycle is over. We also talked about how some of the staff would be affected by the referendum passing and schools being closed, or if it doesn't pass — and schools still close.  Last week, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers visited an elementary school in the district, and fifth graders had him sitting in the middle of a canoe and took him for a ride on a French Island pond, which likely made everyone a little nervous — including security.  We also talked about how the bands did in the Oktoberfest parades.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
