If you haven’t already, please RSVP for tomorrow’s Virtual Meeting of Wisconsin Public Education Network partners, 4pm on Tuesday April 14.
We’ll debrief the election results, share the latest on what the COVID-19 legislation means for schools, and strategize on collective action in the coming weeks and months. Registration is required; we’ll send the link after you RSVP.
It appears that legislators are backing off a wildly unpopular proposal that would have allowed the Joint Finance Committee to cut school aid, but contents of the package remain a mystery to the public and will be up for a vote tomorrow, April 14.
Boards that wish to share priority considerations with lawmakers are encouraged to check out the sample COVID-19 BOARD RESOLUTION (NOTE: this has been modified since we shared the draft last week) from the Sun Prairie Area School District Board. Thanks again to Steve Schroeder for his excellent work on this!
Meanwhile, TODAY at 4pm is the deadline for receipt of ballots that were been returned by mail. There’s been ongoing controversy surrounding ballots returned by mail but lacking postmarks or date stamps, and “untold numbers” of ballots that were requested by the legal deadline but not received by voters. Clerks will report their results today and we should get election results this evening.
Please follow us on Facebook for the latest breaking news, updates, and action opportunities.
See you tomorrow!
