Talking La Crosse student testing outcomes, plus school superintendent and supreme court elections with Dr. Aaron Engel
Covered a lot Monday with School District of La Crosse superintendent, Dr. Aaron Engel, on WIZM’s La Crosse Talk, including state proficiency tests and how students are doing, plus a timeline on tearing down the Hogan building and getting public input on renovating State Road Elementary.
La Crosse Talk airs weekdays at 6-8 a.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska). Find all the podcasts here or subscribe to La Crosse Talk wherever you get your podcasts.
We also discussed last week’s visit to La Crosse from Dr. Jill Underly, the Wisconsin State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and just exactly what that job entails. Plus the Wisconsin Supreme Court race and the outlook Engel has from the district’s perspective.
An open house at State Road Elementary happens from 4-6 p.m. Thursday, as that building is getting ready for eight new classrooms and a new gymnasium — per the fall $53.5 million referendum. Also, Thursday, Logan High students can participate in a futures job fair in the afternoon.

Before superintendent Engel starts gleefully tearing down Hogan and closing three elementary schools, shouldn’t he and the school board figure out how to solve the operational budget? Just a question.
Watch out lacrosse, the slate of liberal candidates for school board and the current superintendent will go to referendum again to solve the operational budget problem. Best guess is the voters won’t stand for it. That will leave the operational budget unsolved. These people need to reassess their priorities.
