In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump and many around him, including certain other elected Republican officials, intentionally breached their oath to the constitution, they ignored the rulings of dozens of courts, plotted to overturn a lawful election, and provoked a violent attack on our Capitol. Liz Cheney, one of the few Republican officials to take a stand against these efforts, witnessed the attack first-hand, and then helped lead the Congressional Select Committee investigation into how it happened. In Oath and Honor , she tells the story of this perilous moment in our history, those who helped Trump spread the stolen election lie, those whose actions preserved our constitutional framework, and the risks we still face.

The referendum proposes the consolidation of Emerson and Spence Elementary Schools at a new building located at the Hogan Administrative Center site, along with the consolidation of State Road and Hintgen Elementary Schools at the State Road site with a building addition. The proposal carries a total cost of $53.5 million.
In anticipation of these critical decisions, the Board of Education has outlined three focus questions to guide the discussions:
1. What questions do you have regarding the referendum?
2. What opportunities do you envision with the new or improved facilities?
3. Is there any additional information that could aid us in the referendum process?

The School District of La Crosse encourages all residents to participate in these sessions and contribute to the collective dialogue.

Issues we face today affect us in more ways than the obvious. How do we encourage everyone to come together again in our hyper-polarized world? From civics education to artificial intelligence to fair redistricting and beyond, we explore how to find balance before reaching the tipping points.
