| WI | Signed into law 05/2010 | P-12 | Previous law allowed an eligible school board that has entered into a five-year renewable student achievement guarantee (SAGE) contract with the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to reduce class size to 15 pupils in grades Kindergarten to three in schools with specified low-income enrollment to receive $2,250 for each low-income pupil enrolled in grades eligible for SAGE funding. DPI has not been authorized to enter into new SAGE contracts after June 30, 2001, but DPI has entered into five-year renewal contracts if certain conditions are met. DPI has been permitted to waive requirements of the SAGE program under these contracts.
This bill permits the school board of an eligible school district to enter into a five-year SAGE contract with DPI in the 2010-11 school year on behalf of one or more schools if all of the following apply:
- In the previous school year, each school had an enrollment that was at least 30% low income.
- The school board is not receiving a grant under the Preschool to Grade 5 Program on behalf of any of the schools.
- None of the schools is a beneficiary of a SAGE contract.
Under the Act, for contracts that begin in the 2010 school year, the contract must require the school board to reduce class size to 18 in each participating school in the following manner:In the 2010-11 school year, in at least grades Kindergarten and one; in the 2011-12 school year, in at least grades Kindergarten to two; in the 2012-13 to 2014-15 school years, in at least grades Kindergarten to three. DPI must pay to each school district that has entered into a SAGE contract $2,250 multiplied by the number of low-income
pupils enrolled in grades eligible for funding in each school in the school district that is covered by a contract entered into in the 2010-11 school year and by renewals of SAGE contracts.

They also strengthen personnel standards and continue to support collaboration. The major changes include increasing the minimum participation from two days a week to three days a week during the school year and limiting teacher caseloads to 30 students. The policy also requires five-year-olds to be assessed to determine if Pre-k placement is the best option for them when a parent requests Pre-k enrollment instead of kindergarten. It also authorizes the development of the permanent authorization credential for community partners with teachers who are not certified and requires all screenings to be completed using the HealthCheck protocol to create standardization of screenings and physicals.
