Capitol Update
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | September 27, 2023
The Assembly Education Committee will hold a public hearing tomorrow:
- Assembly Bill 342: Allowing school boards to provide a district administrator who is not licensed by the department of public instruction. SAA Opposed.
- Assembly Bill 403: removing the 3-year penalty on revenue ceilings for school districts with a failed referendum. SAA In Favor.
- Assembly Bill 223: Maintaining a supply of usable opioid antagonist at a school. SAA is currently reviewing a substitute amendment which substantially changes most of the provisions of the original bill and will provide an updated summary.
As a reminder, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos announced four (4) bipartisan taskforces which will hold hearings around the state. Each taskforce is chaired by a freshman Representative and will hear mostly invited testimony on four topic areas – all of which will touch on K-12 education – with the truancy taskforce being by far the most K-12 focused. The first of the hearings was yesterday at the Capitol on childhood obesity and several agencies including DPI provided briefings. The taskforce on Human Trafficking is also holding an informational hearing today which will also include a briefing from the DPI. Currently, the K-12 Truancy hearing is planning to meet on October 4th. Additional hearings and locations will be announced, and SAA will plan to engage with members across the state to provide information to the taskforces.
