Education is an important issue, not only for families with children, but for
the community and its future. “Education Matters” is a roundtable
discussion program devoted exclusively to identifying problems in our schools,
finding solutions, and providing information helpful to both parents and teachers.
“Education Matters” is co-hosted by three individuals with strong backgrounds
in education: Terry Lawler is co-founder of E&L Educational Enterprises,
providing tutoring and education consulting services; Dr. Dwayne
Olsen, a retired member of U-W Parkside’s Teacher Education
Department; and Dr. Steve Brown, a full-time Professor of
Educational Leadership, specializing in Educational Law at Northeastern Illinois University,
former member of the Salem School Board, and also serves as
part-time producer at WGTD. Rejoining the "Education Matters" team of hosts
is Linda Flashinski, former member of the Racine Unified School Board and
former Director of Communications. Linda also has been active in the community,
working with a number of organizations.
The program airs each Saturday morning at 10:30. When the show is broadcast
live, listener questions and comments
are taken on the air, giving virtually everyone a voice on “Education
Matters.”
