Current or Pending Legislation Impacting Education

The following current or pending bills will have a direct impact on our great schools in Appleton. You can learn more about pending Senate and Assembly bills by going to the Wisconsin State Legislature website at http://www.legis.state.wi.us/ and entering the bill number.
 

Bill # How it Affects our "Great Schools"
AB 666 Increase the percentage the county is allowed to take from the interest off money collected from fines and forfeiture from 10% to 25% this would greatly reduce the amount of money in the common school fund, which is used to purchase school library materials supporting the curriculum.
 
AB 751 This bill, which was introduced by Republican Rep. Gary Bies, seeks repeal of the QEO and makes other changes to the collective bargaining law.
 
AB 589/
SB 286
These companion bills impact public sector collective bargaining by making subcontracting a non-mandatory subject of bargaining. The bills would jeopardize hundreds of public sector jobs held by education support professionals, such as food service workers, school bus drivers and school maintenance employees.
 
AB 725 Among the 14 items in the bill are the elimination of a requirement for school districts to hire reading specialists and revocation of DPI's authority to license nurses as school nurses.
 
AB 304 This bill is designed to take public employees out of the decision making over group health carriers. The bill, which was introduced by Rep. Terri McCormick (R-Appleton), revises the law so that local governmental employers would only have to offer substantially similar benefits to employees after making a decision to change the insurance carrier.
