Back to School
Some students in the La Crosse School District started school last month. Many Hamilton Elementary students became the first in La Crosse to participate in year-round school. We talk with La Crosse School Superintendent Randy Nelson about why year-round school was needed and is going so far. We’ll talk to him about a number of education topics including the start of a statewide private school voucher program. We’ll also get the private school perspective on that program from La Crosse Aquinas Catholic School President Kurt Nelson.

They will be using a blank canvass square to demonstrate how they view compassion, one of the school district’s core principles. Learn more about the La Crosse Compassion Project.
