La Crosse Schools superintendent Engel on lunch debt, teacher contracts, Central fundraiser

La Crosse Schools superintendent, Dr. Aaron Engel, joins to discuss school lunch debt, teacher contracts, a middle school backpacking trip — with probably a lot of bug spray — and a first-ever Central High fundraiser That's where we kicked off the interview, discussing Saturday's Central fundraiser, featuring Andy Hughes from T.U.G.G., which happens from 4:30-10 p.m. at All-Star lanes. After that, we talked about getting the teacher contracts signed heading into the school year. Something that's done yearly, but made a bit more difficult in years when the state has to sign a two-year budget into law. After that, it was school lunch debt talk, including how the Beer By Bike Brigade paid of La Crosse's over $3,000. The group paid off all La Crosse County schools' lunch debts, which totaled nearly $10,000. Lastly, we chatted quick about Longfellow Middle School students roughing it, with a backpacking trip that could only have been filled with mosquitoes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
