Hail the conquering heroine! Friend of the show Hallie Newman Schmeling, or Teacher Hallie as we call her around these parts, is back on BustED Pencils for the first time since being elected to the Menomonee Falls school board! Drs. Tim Slekar and Johnny Lupinacci have a lot of catching up to do with Hallie as she discusses her journey from educator to deciding to run for public office, the good times and the tough moments of running a political campaign in 2025, and how to bring good old fashioned classroom lessons into the realm of public service. Join us as we talk about it all on THIS exciting episode of BustED Pencils.

Teacher Hallie and her partner Teacher Joanna are Educators Amplified, a podcast dedicated to raising up the voices of educators.
