Governor Signs “Felons Bill”

By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | November 29, 2011

On Wednesday, November 23rd, Governor Walker signed Senate Bill 86  into law as 2011 Wisconsin Act 83 .  Act 83 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.”
