SB 755

This bill repeals all three Opportunity Schools and Partnership Programs,

created in

2015 Wisconsin Act 55

: the first class city OSPP, the superintendent of

schools OSPP, under the control of the superintendent of schools of the Milwaukee

Public Schools, and the OSPP for eligible school districts. An eligible school district

is one that satisfies all of the following: 1) the school district was assigned to the

lowest performance category on the accountability reports published for the district

in the two most recent school years; 2) the membership of the school district is greater

than 15,000; and 3) the school district received intradistrict transfer aid in the two

school years described under item 1. Act 55 placed the first class city OSPP and each

eligible school district OSPP under the supervision of a commissioner, appointed by

the county executive of the county in which the school district is located.

Under each OSPP, an entity other than the school board was granted

supervision over the operation and general management of certain eligible schools.

These entities include a person who operates a charter school and the governing body

of a nonsectarian private school participating in a parental choice program. An

eligible school in each OSPP is a school that was assigned to the lowest performance

category on the most recent accountability report published for the school.
