What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law requires school boards to ensure that every administrator holds a license issued by the Department of Public Instruction. Current law provides an exception to this requirement for a school district administrator elected by the school board of a first class city school district (currently, only Milwaukee Public Schools).
This bill creates a similar exception for school boards of common, union high, or unified school districts. As a result, under the bill, all school boards are allowed to employ a school district administrator who is not licensed by DPI.
