What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the University of Wisconsin System must determine and
report on high schools that have graduated more than six students who, on the basis
of their performance on placement tests in the preceding 12 months, are required to
take remedial coursework in English or mathematics. This bill requires the Board
of Regents to charge high schools that have graduated any student needing remedial
coursework in English or mathematics for the cost of providing that student remedial
coursework. The bill also requires the Board of Regents to complete and submit an
annual report to the legislature detailing the cost of providing remedial coursework.
The bill provides that, if a high school fails to pay the charges, the Department
of Public Instruction must reduce state aid or certain other amounts otherwise
payable to the high school by an amount equal to the unpaid charges.
