Education Dominates Final JFC Hearing

By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | April 19, 2013

The SAA’s strong presence ensured that education issues dominated the Joint Finance Committee’s final budget hearing held yesterday at Baldwin-Woodville High School.

In addition to my testimony, in which I characterized voucher expansion as an enormous statewide taxpayer – funded entitlement in the making, at least 15 SAA members presented or submitted testimony at the hearing, including:

Stephen Schiell, Superintendent, Amery

Al Brown, Superintendent, Chetek-Weyerhauser

Bruce Quinton, Superintendent, Pepin

Joni Weinert, Superintendent, Bruce

Mark Luebker, Superintendent, Osceola

Joni Burgi, Superintendent, Grantsburg

Chris Stratton, Superintendent, Menomonie

Randal Braun, Superintendent, Cameron

Randy Rosberg, Superintendent, Somerset

Mary Randall, Superintendent, Bloomer

Janna Stevens, Superintendent, Superior

Cheryl Gullicksrud, Superintendent, Mondovi

Cory McIntyre, Student Services Director, Hudson

Janelle Marotz, Business Manager, Beloit

Lynee Tourdot, Asst. Superintendent, Beloit

Many thanks to these SAA members for their dedication, commitment and leadership.

All said and told, nearly 50 SAA members delivered testimony at one of the four JFC budget hearings in the last two weeks.  My Capitol sources reveal that we are having an impact.  Let’s keep it up!
