What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
