“Stripped Down” AB 693 Passes Assembly
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | February 23, 2018
Last night, the Assembly passed a “stripped down” version of Assembly Bill 693, the so-called Teacher Protection Act, in the form of Assembly Substitute
Amendment 2 (ASA 2). The bill was further amended (by Assembly Amendment 1 to ASA 2) to address some of the concerns raised by the SAA and the WASB.
AB 693, as amended, passed the Assembly on a 58-36 vote. The bill, as passed, would provide for the right of a teacher to terminate his/her employment, without penalty, if the teacher is the victim of a “physical assault” or a violent crime under certain conditions.
The SAA, in consultation with legal counsel, still has major concerns about the bill as passed by the Assembly. We continue to work the bill in the Senate. Stay tuned.
