WILL and the Education Action Group (“EAG”) have partnered to release a thoroughly-researched report on the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (“DPI”) and the school choice program.
The report’s first part details DPI’s history – particularly under Superintendent Evers – of harassing, intimidating, and otherwise mistreating voucher schools in Milwaukee in Racine. The second part addresses the current controversy over the extent of the Superintendent’s constitutional authority, in particular the question of whether the Superintendent can impose Common Core standards on Wisconsin’s school districts contrary to the legislature’s wishes.
A copy of the 11-page report can be read here.
