“Felons Bill” Passes Both Houses

By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | November 4, 2011

Senate Bill 86 passed both houses of the legislature this week with the SAA’s support.  SB 86 permits an educational agency to refuse to employ or to terminate from employment an unpardoned felon, whether or not the circumstances of the felony substantially relate to the circumstances of the particular job.

The SAA has supported this controversial legislation for many years.  The SAA’s position has always been, “Protect the children first.”  This bill now moves on to the Governor’s desk where we anticipate it will be signed into law.
