This bill is too important to rush through the legislature without hearing from the people who understand its potential impact and who are raise important questions, thus far unanswered.

There needs to be civic input on this because it affects far too many, parents, students and all taxpayers.

This bill is not accountability, it is an attempt to shut down public education. Charter schools need to be held to the same standards and oversight as public schools.

One would hope that elected leaders of the state would be interested in public input on public education.

yes it is hard work to hold listening session. But the work will be worthless without citizen input. Please continue the hearings.

i attended the "sham" hearing on January 14. I want the "real" bill out there for comment. Sessions should be held regionally.

All accountability should be exactly the same for all schools getting public funds. This is what we have school boards and the DPI for.

The content of this bill is more proof that private schools/charters taking public funds will take continue to take taxpayer dollars without accountability while neighborhood public schools get socked with fewer resources and greater high-stakes testing designed to give away our public schools to private corporations. Wisconsin doesn't want this. Our public schools are accountable to our communities. Vouchers need to end and eventually be phased out of Milwaukee and Racine. The least that can be done is to have hearings on these corporate education reform bills bought and paid for by edu-companies and wealthy edu-investors across Wisconsin.

This bill does not demonstrate the desire to solve the problem. If it did, it would look at the whole picture like poverty, hunger, joblessness, special needs etc. What Wisconsin needs to do is dig deep, look at all aspects of the impacts on education, a get involved in the communities, not move in and tear them apart. The first step is to hear from the whole community and really listen.

This bill is not about accountability. Having made sure that public schools will fail, some of these legislators now want to make sure that friendly groundwork is laid for their education-by-exclusion campaign donors.
