Good morning, La Crosse.

La Crosse job seekers can now explore fresh employment postings available online + access local career opportunities.

Sparta School District voters rejected a referendum to provide $1.8 million over three years — a measure designed to help preserve student resources and co-curricular programs — today.

The result will force deeper budget cuts and further staff reductions as the district faces ongoing financial challenges.

Dr. Eric Strauss of UW-La Crosse warned Wednesday that federal funding cuts may worsen threats to the upper Mississippi River’s health and hinder research and student training in water science.

He spoke at the League of Women Voters event at Stoney Creek Inn in Onalaska (calling for sustained support).

La Crosse Common Council voted 8-5 to reject a plan to use $90,000 ARP funds to reopen the North Side pool this summer—leaving families without a local swim option.

The council approved a 10-1 appeal of the state’s decision letting Campbell incorporate, with a referendum coming soon.

The City Council may approve $90,000 from ARPA interest funds to reopen the North Side Pool this summer if Councilmember Erin Goggin’s fast-tracked proposal passes at Thursday night’s meeting — the funding will cover the pool's operation for the 2026 season.
