2023 Act 20

Today, Dr. Jill Underly, State Superintendent, sent a letter to the Joint Committee on Finance chairs regarding a statutorily required report that the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction sent last week. The report is about a statewide literacy coaching program, which the DPI has been unable to implement due to the JCF not releasing nearly the $50 million intended to support 2023 Wisconsin Act 20

Dr. Underly’s full letter can be viewed on the DPI’s website. This news release can also be found on the DPI’s website.
