| Newsmakers: Ken Kasinski, CESA 12 Administrator
Ken Kasinski, administrator of the CESA 12 regional educational
cooperative, summarized cuts made in instructional programs
by 17 local school districts he works with as the state school-funding
crisis worsens. If the cuts continue, and no long-range way
funding system is enacted for public schools, Kasinski said
some of those 17 districts could cease to exist, or offer
only “core” classes in math, reading and a few
other subjects. The interview took place on December 22, 2009
at the WisconsinEye studios. (25 minutes)
