Common Core, School Accountability, and Special Needs Voucher Bills Pulled From Committee Action
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | February 20, 2014
The Assembly Education Committee was slated to vote on five bills this morning at 9:00 a.m. in the State Capitol. However, Chairman Steve Kestell (R – Elkhart Lake) postponed the vote on AB 379 (School Accountability), AB 682 (Special Needs Vouchers), and AB 617 SSA1 (Common Core legislation that would radically change the way educational standards are developed in Wisconsin). We anticipate the Committee will consider these bills in the not-too-distant future.
Why the postponement? All I can say is the end of the legislative session is always a time of chaos, uncertainty and enormous fluidity. This session feels worse than those of the recent past simply because so many important K-12 education issues are under the microscope and still in play.
Please keep communicating with your legislators regarding our opposition to the Common Core legislation (AB 617 SSA1 and SB 619).
Stay tuned.
