What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
