The chairman of the Assembly Education Committee says he hopes to have a revised school accountability bill ready for debate in about a month. Republican state representative Jeremy Thiesfeldt of Fond du Lac says the plan will take a back seat over the next couple of weeks to right to work legislation. Thiesfeldt says he’s reworking his proposal to still includes sanctions for failing public schools, but forcing them to be converted to independent charter schools wouldn’t be the only penalty. Thiesfeldt says behind the scene its in his words, a bit of a stalemate. “The senate and the assembly are separated by the fact that we believe differently in terms of what level of sanctions that there should be if a school is chronically struggling to produce a good report card,” Thiesfeldt told WFDL news. Senate Republican leaders and governor Walker don’t want sanctions. Thiesfeldt says under his plan only schools that chronically fail to meet expectations over a number of years would face possible sanctions.
