Madison, WI – Senator Alberta Darling and Representative Robin Vos introduced a new educational reform bill to the State Legislature that would remove the caps on charter school and virtual school enrollment. The bill would also create a statewide charter school board authority that could authorize charter schools.

Representative Sondy Pope-Roberts, a Democrat whose district lies in Dane County, criticized the measure as “misguided” and “disingenuous,” saying that the proposal would “affectively (sp) remove the ability of local school districts, accountable to local taxpayers, to decide how their district is run.”
Zeus Rodriguez, President of Hispanics for School Choice (HFSC), said “HFSC supports proper accountability measures, but legislators need to focus on reform and parental rights, not politics and rhetoric that slow down progress.”
