We’ll visit with Ron Martin, a social studies teacher in Eau Claire who also serves on the executive board of the National Education Association, to get his reaction to a judge overturning Act 10. Also: Nick Ouellette, superintendent of the Hudson school district and Megan Rozowski of the Hudson school board talk about the pressures facing districts like theirs, where budget referendums failed to pass last month. Some advocates want districts to come right back to the voters in April, pointing out the affordability of avoiding budget cuts, while others want the district to make the cuts and for students to live with the consequences.
