SB 335 Wisconsin Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Relating to: allowing school boards to employ a school district administrator who is not licensed by the department of public instruction.

This bill would have allowed Wisconsin school boards to hire school district administrators without requiring them to hold a license from the Department of Public Instruction. The legislation proposed creating a new statute that explicitly permits these hires despite existing rules mandating licensure for such roles. By removing the mandatory licensing requirement, the bill aimed to give school boards more flexibility in selecting administrative staff. Although the bill passed the legislature, it was vetoed by the Governor and did not become law.
