LRB-6422 is being introduced to provide parents with additional flexibility to address the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact it will have on students and families for the 2020-2021 school year. Under current law, students may open enroll to another district only if they apply during the spring prior to a fall semester. This bill allows parents to use the alternative open enrollment process to enroll their child in a different district if they believe their home district’s chosen instructional model is not in their child’s best interest.
It also gives parents the tools to make this decision without the threat of a veto from their home district. Finally, the bill removes the enrollment cap that currently limits how many students from a specific district can participate in the state choice programs and allows choice applications to be processed on a rolling basis throughout this coming school year.

Everything but tech support.
Awesome. Big win for poor and middle class.
Chance to escape do nothing Marxist public schools.
No way this becomes law.
>No way this becomes law.
Is it bad for the kids?
k:
And yet another fact free assumption. How can you call our great 4K-12 public school up here “marxist” ? Have you ever had any experience with public schools anywhere other than your little enclave of fanaticism?
Non reader Leroy, he said its a chance to escape Marxist public schools. If yours really is that good, then he wasn’t talking about it. Duh, try to keep up.
Nord,
If they are as great as you say…this bill should not affect you one bit.
We have large districts in this part of state that are failing badly to do their duty and parents/families need to escape.
Why are you even worried if your schools in the rural area are as great as you say they are?
Randall,
If you are implying Evers is a Marxist oppressor…you are completely right about that.
If that is what k really means he should have been more specific. In the past we have had similar discussions regarding his blanket condemnations of public schools in general using those exact words. And k has never been timid about attacking specific school boards far from his home.
Nord,
If what you say is true…your schools are great…why does this bill even concern you.
Should be status quo by you.
Why do you want to prevent escape from public schools failingto do their job? Are you a Castro-like thug trying to sink the escape boats?
Because alleged “conservatives” of your ilk paint with a really broad brush. You do it consistently.
You can fix it by apologizing for your fact-less and hyperbolic comment.
Nord,
Not following.
If you are correct. this bill is meaningless to your area.
Why are you in a dither?….unless you hate parents having a choice to escape?
Wow k, you really need to learn how read.
Stop diverting attention from your flawed argument…
I’m not diverting, I’m trying to get you to pay attention. That may be futile, but I try.
“And yet another fact free assumption. How can you call our great 4K-12 public school up here “marxist” ? Have you ever had any experience with public schools anywhere other than your little enclave of fanaticism?”
Well, Le Roi and for the most part Kevin is right.
Of course, not every teacher is a iberal marxists, but there is a good percentage of them.
Especially in the big cities.
And you call others “uneducated”.
Not everyone, Le Roi, just you.
Because you are so special.
Special education that is.
I see no one touched this…
>No way this becomes law.
>Is it bad for the kids?
So Randall, or Leroy, is this law bad for the kids?
Sorry mar, but you have called numerous folks “uneducated”, not because they lacked education, but to cover up your shortcomings. And you are doing it again. Feel better?
Le Roi, it’s simple: Look up “public school” in Kevin’s Special Dictionary, and it says “Marxist” right there. Also “Religious” and “Communist.” Perfectly logical and consistent, right?
You 2 cannot answer basic questions.
Is this proposed law bad for kids?
Parents?
Is more choice a problem?
If you are implying Evers is a Marxist oppressor…you are completely right about that.
Nope not what I am implying Kevin. Evers is the duly elected Governor (therefore not an oppressor) and he can veto bills. He will veto this one.
Republicans and Democrats have shown no ability to cooperate on anything, so whether this is a good or bad idea, it stands no chance. It is the same reason ~400 bills passed in the US House of Reps stand little chance in the US Senate.
Interesting that State Senators introduce bills like this, but have not repealed the mask mandate. Clearly they must agree with the mandate.
So Randall, or Leroy, is this law bad for the kids?
That was not the point of my post. I was simply pointing out the political realities.
Who do you think will vote No on it? Do you have any opinion on their reasoning? Do you think it’s bad for the kids?
>Le Roi, it’s simple: Look up “public school” in Kevin’s Special Dictionary, and it says “Marxist” right there. Also “Religious” and “Communist.” Perfectly logical and consistent, right?
So crying victim last week, and attacking this week. Good to know. Up until yesterday I decided to placate your victim hood as an experiment. The results show you’re full of shit Foust.
Uneducated Le Roi, when was the last time you were in a teacher’s lounge? When was the last time you were in a classroom, especially in a large city?
And did you do it everyday for 20 tears?
You didn’t?
But you know what goes on there?
Tell us another lie.
Keep digging mar, that hole is getting deeper.
Nice comeback from King Moron.
randall,
That means the reality is:
Democrats are AGAINST kids and parents.
That is awful, isn’t it?
I do agree with Randall on this. This will never become law under Evers.
He will veto this bill and the Democrats will uphold the veto.
Sure mar, the local northern WI communist party has their weekly meetings at a rural school teachers lounge. How much farther from reality can you get?
Kevin, my comment has nothing to do with the contents of the bill. That is a separate issue.
The reality I am addressing is that Republicans and Democrats have decided, by and large, to not work together no matter the issue, whether it is good or bad, or how many people it can help. The dysfunction is equal from both parties. Neither one has moral high ground.
RF:
I agree to a point, but the lame duck session and legislation the R’s pulled on Evers sure puts them down slope a few yards.
Laugh Line of the Day: New public-school teachers are few and far between. Union guy says that’s due ‘to the difficulty of becoming a teacher.’
The greatest teacher in the history of Wisconsin did not have an Education degree. His name was Vince Lombardi–and he taught HS Latin and Physics. Didn’t have degrees in either of those, either.
“New public-school teachers are few and far between. Union guy says that’s due ‘to the difficulty of becoming a teacher.’”
There is a lot of truth to that quote. Most take 5 years to get a degree. For me, it took me 5 1/2 years going full time and during the summer. And then you don’t learn much during those 5 years. You learn so much more on the job.
Then you have to pass the tests.
And you are also right, Dad, you don’t need a degree or license to be a good teacher. There may be some exceptions though.
We’ll disagree, Mar. Obtaining an ed. degree is not as much a challenge as obtaining one in engineering, medicine, pharmacy, nursing, …..we can go on. Nurses, too, have to pass a test which (believe it or not) has very little to do with what nurses actually DO.
It also takes 5 years of undergrad to obtain an Accounting degree, by the way, and that’s not due to ‘course unavailability’ or lack of passing grades. It’s 120+24 and THEN a couple years’ practical experience and THEN you can sit for the CPA exam.
But we still agree that GOOD teachers are hard to find and didn’t get “educated” into good-teaching.
“We’ll disagree, Mar. Obtaining an ed. degree is not as much a challenge as obtaining one in engineering, medicine, pharmacy, nursing, ….”
Oh, I absolutely agree with you there.
I was talking more about time and things like that. It’s not like about 20 years ago where you just take basketweaving classes, get done in 4 years and then go to work.
