We first welcome Jim Malewitz, Deputy Managing Editor of Wisconsin Watch, about Mario Koran’s piece on the lack of choices families with children with disabilities have when it comes to school. While many students do have choices, between vouchers, charter school and open enrollment, students with disabilities can legally be expelled or denied from all three of those options based on the discretion of the school. Then we talk to Dr. Michael Tiller, assistant professor in forest ecology in the College of Natural Resources at UW-Stevens Point who focuses on fire ecology and fire management. We talk about the purpose of prescribed burns versus wild fires, what we all can do to prevent forest fires and what gets someone into the “fire” field. Guests: Michael Tiller, Jim Malewitz
