We’ll visit with Amy Starzecki, district administrator for the Superior school district, who since our last visit was named the new Wisconsin superintendent of the year. We’ll discuss the challenges of running a school district in the current climate. And we have another chat with Kate Ullman of the Wisconsin Civic Learning Coalition about the future of teaching civics in Wisconsin classrooms, when it’s more important than ever that the students of today learn the basics of how government functions before they become the voters of tomorrow.
