SAA Pushes for Course Options Meeting
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | April 10, 2014
As member concerns over Wisconsin’s new course options law continue to pile up, the SAA has worked with Senator Luther Olsen, Chairman of the Senate Education Committee, to schedule a meeting of legislative service agencies, the DPI, and relevant K-12 stakeholders to discuss our concerns and how to address them. We greatly appreciate Senator Olsen’s leadership in setting this meeting for Tuesday, April 29th in the State Capitol. By necessity, the participant numbers must be limited. We are in the process of identifying a few SAA members to represent the membership at this meeting.
Confusion abounds about this issue. We have received numerous reports that local legislators have told school administrators that the problem stems from a DPI rule that lawmakers can stop. There is no DPI rule. The problem is in statutory language dumped into the state budget bill late at night before the Joint Finance Committee and passed with little analysis and no scrutiny.
The SAA will keep members informed of any developments on this important issue.
