La Crosse teachers' union president Schams on Brewers visit, teaching music, governor's 400-year funding
from WIZM - La Crosse Talk Interviews · host WIZM News Staff
La Crosse teachers' union co-president Jill Schams joins to talk about the Brewers Racing Sausages visiting her school, Gov. Tony Evers' 400-year school funding bill upheld, teaching music and the new school board. Schams is the co-president of the La Crosse Education Association and K-5 music teacher at Southern Bluffs, where the Brewers awarded a $1,000 check and gave a first-grade teacher there an award. But we talk about what the kids through of those Racing Sausages running around the gym. After that, we got into what it's like teaching music to elementary kids and why they use a recorder and ukulele. Then we hit on the La Crosse School Board getting sworn in Monday and the relationship LEA has with the board. Ended the conversation with the Wisconsin Supreme Court upholding an Evers' veto to add $325 of per-pupil funding for the next 400-some years, and if that plan is actually a good thing for the state. Schams is also headed to the Wisconsin state Legislature Joint Finance Committee's budget listening session in Wausau on Monday, where she'll get 3 minutes to make her pitch for La Crosse schools.
