CCSS Hearing Update
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | October 22, 2013
I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you that plan to testify at the remaining Common Core hearings on October 23rd (Eau Claire) and October 30th (Wausau). I think your leadership on this issue is very important. I also want to be up front with you on what you may be facing.
If your experience on October 23rd or October 30th is like that of your SAA colleagues at the Madison and Fond du Lac hearings, it will be frustrating and very time-consuming. The first two hearings have been orchestrated with time-consuming invited speakers for several hours at the beginning of each hearing. Even though the SAA was assured that speakers would be taken on a first come first serve basis, those arriving the earliest at the first two hearings have still waited for hours to testify. In my 12 years as your lobbyist, I’ve never seen anything quite like it.
In spite of the anticipated time commitment and frustration, it is still extremely important to have a strong presence at these two remaining hearings.
Thank you again for your leadership and dedication. And thank you for all your efforts on behalf of Wisconsin school children.
