Kestell Named SAA Legislator of the Year
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | September 25, 2014
Representative Steve Kestell (R-Elkhart Lake), Chairman of the Assembly Education Committee, was presented with the SAA 2014 Legislator of the Year Award today in Madison at the Fall Superintendents Conference of the Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators (WASDA).
Shortly after Steve announced that he would not seek election to a 9th term in the Assembly, I wrote a few words on my blog to try and convey the respect that we hold for Chairman Kestell – respect for his advocacy for children, and for the way he conducted himself as an elected representative of the people. I’d like to share those words again:
The SAA has worked with Chairman Kestell for many years. And, while we didn’t always agree on education policy issues, we did understand and appreciate that he painstakingly weighed the evidence and made his decisions based on what he thought was the right thing to do for the children and the taxpayers of Wisconsin. That type of reasoned, deliberate approach will be sorely missed in the Assembly. Steve Kestell is a great friend of public education.
We will miss him.
Enough said.
