Governor Signs “Immoral Conduct” Bill Into Law

By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | November 29, 2011

In another victory for the SAA, on Wednesday, November 23rd Governor Walker signed Senate Bill 49, relating to revocation for immoral conduct of a license issued by the Department of Public Instruction, into law as 2011 Wisconsin Act 84.  Act 84 provides that “immoral conduct” includes the intentional use of an educational agency’s equipment to download, view, solicit, seek, display, or distribute pornographic material. It also requires an administrator, when reporting “immoral conduct” to DPI, to include a complete copy of the licensee’s personnel file and all investigative records.

Act 84 also requires DPI to post the name of the licensee under investigation on the DPI website. Finally, it requires DPI to maintain a record of all investigations it conducts.  The SAA worked with the bill authors, Senator Luther Olsen (R- Ripon) and Representative Steve Kestell (R- Elkhart Lake), on development and passage of SB 49.
