9-22-15 area school leaders rip republican state superintendent proposal

todaySeptember 22, 2015

Area school superintendents say a proposal to make the state superintendent  an appointed position rather than an elected office would be a mistake.  Rosendale Brandon school district administrator Gary Hansen says making the position a partisan appointment would have a negative impact on education in Wisconsin. “He’s a Republican representative from New Berlin and my first reaction  would be I wonder if this proposal would be coming in front of anyone or if he would be making this proposal if we had a Democratic governor and a Democratic Senate,”  Hansen said.  North Fond du Lac School superintendent Aaron Sadoff questions the motives of Republican state representative Joe SanFelippo.  “This is somebody who has a very vested interest in privatization of education, trying to get some things riled up,”  Sadoff told WFDL news. Sadoff says he doubts the proposal will go anywhere.
