Podcasts about Lincoln Middle School

La Crosse began clearing the marsh trails and other city properties on Wednesday due to homeless encampments, as council members Mackenzie Mindel and Mac Kiel joined La Crosse Talk Pm to discuss some details surrounding the dilemma. Kiel goes out weekly with the homeless outreach team and updates us, in the second half of the show (17:45), on the council's decision earlier this month to ban camping, and dilemma now for homeless people with nowhere to go. Both Kiel and Mindel are on the Judiciary and Administration Committee, which meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday. We discuss some of the things on that agenda (4:10), which indirectly have to do with homelessness, including three rezoning decisions that all deal with housing — the old Lincoln Middle School, the Washburn Community garden area and the county's Hillview Healthcare Center.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

City council members Mackenzie Mindel and Mac Kiel in studio, ahead of committee week, where they'll be discussing accessory dwelling unit (ADU) rules. We also talked chickens, selling Lincoln Middle School and a homeless update. Mindel and Kiel are both on the city's Judiciary and Administration committee, which meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday. Began the show with a quick rundown, but did talk about chicken coup regulation quick. After that (6:50), we discussed the recent sale of Lincoln by the La Crosse School District to a group that is looking to build affordable housing, and what that would mean for the city. We also talked about Transit Equity Days (12:45) in the city, where riding the bus is free, and how Mindel and Kiel are taking council office hours during rides. We also discussed the city's electric busses and, since it was so cold a few weeks ago, if there were problems, would the council know about it. Speaking of cold, Kiel then gave us an update on homelessness (15:45) — as she goes out weekly with an outreach team. It also comes a few weeks after the city-county put out their five-year plan to end homelessness, called Pathways Home. The second half of the show (19:25) consisted mostly of ADU talk, as the council two months ago put off any decision on changing regulations for property owners. In that time, the city held two public hearings on ADUs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La Crosse Schools superintendent, Dr. Aaron Engel, joins to talk about the news that the district sold Lincoln Middle School, what that deal encompasses and future building plans the school board is in the midst of discussing. Began the show, however, talking about escalating world conflict, as Engel is a Lt. Col. in the National Guard — for 20 years — and battalion commander. So we talked a bit about how they prepare for everything from floods, riots to conflicts overseas. After that, we discuss the group that bought Lincoln for $2.2 million and the plan for that historic building. Then we get into some of the options the school board has been discussing for what's called the district's long-range facility plan. The hope is to make a decision on the next steps in that plan by Feb. 19 — after two more regular Monday school board meetings.  La Crosse Talk PM airs weekdays at 5:06 p.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska).

The Pandemic is endemic, or nearly so.  We're still getting sick at all the wrong times, but the impact on most who actually test positive for COVID-19 are annoying rather than debilitating.  But the pandemic left us with a huge educational hangover, and the headlines really are screaming at us.  As always, our interest is in the experience of those who are on the ground.   00:00  Introduction to the Second Season Dr. Barbara Stengel 01:30   Introduction to Post-Pandemic Recovery (a tour through the headlines) Stengel 06:37 The Bailey Perspective (featuring teacher leaders)  Whitney Weathers Bradley, Kelly Aldridge Boyd, LeKeisha Harding, and Lindsey Nelson 19:35 Experience on the Ground in Lancaster, PA  Stengel 20:44 Principals' Perspective: “We Got This”  Melanie Martinez, Principal, Wharton Elementary School 23:45 COVID-19 as a Magnifying Glass for Persistent Problems  Baron Jones, Principal of Martic Middle School; Barb Smentek, science teacher, Lincoln Middle School; Martinez 32:44 Teachers' Perspectives Stengel 33:55 Learning Loss  Amanda Aikens, Dean of Students, Ross Elementary School; Julia Rios Schwartz, 4th grade teacher, Martin Elementary School 36:45 What's the Message?  Stengel, Aikens, Rios Schwartz 40:34 The Central Role of Community  Rios Schwartz, Stengel, Smentek 44:04 Community and Connection  Jones, Stengel 45:43 Neglecting Academics  Stengel, Smentek 47:40 Positive Outcomes of the Pandemic?  Stengel, Martinez 49:11 Caring for Teachers  Stengel, Aikens, Jones 54:10 Teachers Disheartened and Frustrated  Rios Schwartz, Stengel, Smentek 56:30 What Now?  Stengel 

La Crosse School Superintendent Dr. Aaron Engel joined and we got right into it with school starting next week, teacher raises, truancy on the rise, selling Lincoln Middle School and consolidating elementaries.  Began the show talking about truancy, as it was higher than it had ever been last year, and what the district planned over the summer to bring that number down.  After that, we discussed the new state budget and how that affected the district. Part of the budget was an increase of $325 per student for the next 400 years, put in place through the governor's veto pen. There was a lot of outrage over that funding but it sounds like it still isn't enough. We also talked quick about where the district is with school meal debt, before getting into some of the building situations its dealing with. We talked about the process of elementary school consolidation through the Facilities Advisory Committee, which is a little over halfway done with its studies. We then discussed the sale process for Lincoln Middle School and how the district wasn't happy about it getting a historic designation, just as it was being listed for sale.

La Crosse City Planner Tim Acklin joined to talk about the debate over Lincoln Middle School getting historic designation, but before that, Country Boom co-founder Jon Holthaus talks about the huge event in West Salem this weekend. Some of the interesting things we talked with Holthaus included booking guests a year in advance, and by the time Boom arrives, they're gigantic stars. Also, he casually mentioned having the move the entire stage the first year, because 19,000 people showed up. After that, Acklin, who sort of manages the Heritage Preservation Commission, breaks down how a debate will happen before the city council decides if Lincoln Middle should retain historical status. We also talked about why Lincoln got that designation in the first place. After that, Acklin talked more about the commissions Top 10 most endangered buildings, we threw him some new ideas for ranked lists, and we got his Top 3 most untouchable buildings in La Crosse.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Laura Godden, a UW-La Crosse Archivist and member of Heritage Preservation Commission, joined to discuss the city's most endangered buildings, the controversy over making Lincoln Middle School a historic landmark and if K-Mart is next. Began the show, however, talking about what being an Archivist is and the kind of things she's seen, while working at UW-L. After that, we talked a bit about the city's Top 10 most endangered buildings list and the thought process behind it.  The bottom half of the show, we dissected the Lincoln Middle School dilemma, where the Heritage Preservation Commission granted it landmark status, but the La Crosse School District is unhappy about that, because it is trying to sell the building. Godden breaks down why the district might actually benefit from historic status in selling Lincoln. Lastly, we got Godden's personal Top 10 Least Endangered Buildings list, which may or may not have had something to do with the food those buildings produced.

Throughout the show, we also talked about some of the ups and downs that teachers go through, and whether students should have homework.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Viterbo economist John Robinson joins. Spent a lot of the time around the idea from some members of the US House to get rid of federal income tax and to replace that with a 23-30% sales tax on just about everything. Along with that discussion, we talked about filing taxes and who it might help if we did get rid of some of tax systems — like farmers or Hollywood actors. Robinson is a La Crosse native and also Viterbo's Interim Associate Dean and associate professor of business. We kicked off the show talking a bit about the La Crosse School District's building consolidation plan, as the Lincoln Middle School will close this year. Lastly, in there somewhere, we talked about egg price gouging in comparison with the Taylor Swift-Ticketmaster dilemma, as Robinson is a huge Swiftie (or is it Swifty?) and also loves cooking with eggs, apparently.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He was the principal of Lincoln Middle School in Palmetto when the administration, teachers, and families overwhelmingly voted to transition into a district charter school.

Today's episode takes place at the Lincoln Middle School in Rockford, Illinois. I spent the morning here with Arnie Rosen, a retired doctor, and 80+ seventh and eighth graders in the school's band room. Dr. Rosen loved his 27-year career as a gastroenterologist in this Midwestern community. But when he finally retired two years ago he had a plan for what he wanted to do. He wanted to become a “band grandpa.” If you’ve never heard that term "band grandpa" before, don’t feel out of the loop. Dr. Rosen actually created it two years ago.
