School Perceptions Podcast: How Does District Consolidation and Dissolution Work in Wisconsin?

WASBO recommends our members listen to this podcast, where Bob Soldner sits down with Derek to discuss the processes, actors, and decisions involved when Wisconsin school districts need to fold or join with their neighbors to provide a quality education. What role do finances play? Will taxpayers in those districts save money? What things ought district leaders and the community to think about?
