Testifying At JFC Hearings
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | March 13, 2015
My respected sources in the Capitol have made it very clear that public schools need a strong showing at the JFC hearings.
For those of you planning to testify at the Brillion, Milwaukee, Reedsburg or Rice Lake hearings, here are my suggestions:
- Get there early. I know the hearings don’t start until 10:00 a.m. (Reedsburg at 9:30 a.m.), but if you wish to speak before 1:00 p.m. get there by 7:30 a.m.
- You will only have 2 minutes to testify. There will likely be no questions from legislators.
- Bring 20 hard copies of your testimony with your full contact information on it for the committee members.
- Use the information in the SAA’s recent Budget Alert to stay on message. It is very important for us to stay focused.
Once again, we need a strong showing at the JFC budget hearings. If you have questions about testifying please call me at 608-242-1370.
Thank you.
