Legislative Alert: Special Ed Vouchers
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | February 21, 2012
Tomorrow morning the Assembly Education Committee will vote on Assembly Bill 110 (Special Education Vouchers) as amended by Assembly Substitute Amendment 1 (ASA 1). The bill is on the fast track. It will likely receive a public hearing before the Senate Education Committee next week and will likely be available for scheduling for floor votes in both houses beginning the week of March 5th.
The SAA is strongly opposed to this legislation. In fact, I have often told you in speeches that this is the worst piece of education legislation I have had the displeasure of battling against in my 10 years as the SAA’s lobbyist.
The SAA will deliver a memo of opposition to the members of the Assembly Education Committee tomorrow morning. In support of this action the SAA is issuing a Priority Legislative Alert for your immediate action. Please take the time to read the SAA memo, and then contact your Assembly Representative and Senator in opposition of AB 110.
For your convenience, I have provided links to contact information for the Senate and Assembly. You can identify your legislators by accessing Who Are My Legislators.
I implore you, “Do not underestimate this threat”. I repeat, this bill is on the fast track and lots of damage can be done late in the session by bad bills that are not taken seriously.
Please respond immediately. I believe our best opportunity to derail this is in the Senate. SAA members that have relationships with Senators Schultz, Olsen, Cowles, Ellis and Harsdorf – we need you to respond in a big way!
Thanks for listening, and thanks for your support of the kids in your districts.
