Standing Tall in Opposition to SB 619
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | March 7, 2014
People inside the Capitol are calling it “historic” and “unprecedented”. What are they talking about? Well over 100 school administrators and board members descended on the State Capitol yesterday for an extremely successful SAA-sponsored press conference and to stand in support of Superintendents Kris Gilmore (D. C. Everest), Aaron Sadoff (North Fond du Lac), JoAnn Sternke (Pewaukee) and Jennifer Cheatham (Madison) as they delivered outstanding testimony in opposition to Senate Bill 619. Many SAA members followed this initial panel of speakers to deliver their own testimony at the public hearing on SB 619.
We set out to put together the most impressive display of united school leaders that the Senate Committee on Education had ever seen in the Capitol. We did that and then some. To all that attended the events yesterday to testify, to support their colleagues, and to register their opposition to SB 619, I say, “Great job!” and “Thank you!”
We will be posting a steady stream of information about the events that transpired yesterday in the Capitol. For now, we will lead with the newspaper coverage.
