Madison- Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu (R-Oostburg) issued the following statement following Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Superintendent Jill Underly’s State of Education Address:
“The state of education in Wisconsin can be summed up in one word: unaccountable.
“DPI Superintendent Underly’s changing standards make it impossible for parents to track their student’s and school’s performance year-over-year.
“Parents, students and taxpayers deserve better.”
Assembly Bill (AB) 1 would have restored high and consistent standards in Wisconsin schools. Unfortunately, Governor Evers chose to veto AB 1 and allow DPI to inflict lower, inconsistent standards on students and parents across the state.
