| 10 | 10 | | AN ACT to amend 19.42 (7w) (f); and to create 118.24 (1m) of the statutes; |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | relating to: allowing school boards to employ a school district administrator |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | who is not licensed by the department of public instruction. |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | Current law requires school boards to ensure that every administrator holds a |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | license issued by the Department of Public Instruction. Current law provides an |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | exception to this requirement for a school district administrator elected by the school |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | board of a first class city school district (currently, only Milwaukee Public Schools). |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | This bill creates a similar exception for school boards of common, union high, or |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | unified school districts. As a result, under the bill, all school boards are allowed to |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | employ a school district administrator who is not licensed by DPI. |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | enact as follows: |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | SECTION 1. 19.42 (7w) (f) of the statutes is amended to read: |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | 19.42 (7w) (f) An employee of a school district who holds a school administrator |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | license or permit issued by the department of public instruction under rules |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | promulgated by the department under s. 118.19 and whose employment requires |

|---|
| 38 | 38 | | SECTION 2. 118.24 (1m) of the statutes is created to read: |
