Civil Dialogue: Back to School

It’s time for School. Governors and legislators just again boosted state aid for K-12 schools, and OK’d a fourfold increase for special education programs. Four key legislators – the chairs of Assembly and Senate education committees and Democrats on those committees – discuss the future of K-12 Education. On August 21, 2019, WisconsinEye Senior Producer Steve Walters sat down with Senators Luther Olsen (R-Ripon) and Chris Larson (D-Milwaukee), and Representatives Jeremy Thiesfeldt (R-Fond du Lac) and Sondy Pope (D-Mount Horeb) to discuss issues and proposed legislation on education.
