June 29, 2019 – Legislative Watch Update – Wisconsin Budget
The Wisconsin Assembly and Senate have passed the Wisconsin 2019-21 biennium budget and it has been sent to Gov. Evers for his signature (he has until July 5 to sign). WPA’s Legislative Watch committee monitored the budget bills (AB56 and SB59) throughout this process for any provisions or amendments which would have affected our homeschool law. There were very few amendments offered in this budget cycle, and most importantly, there were no proposed changes to Wisconsin’s home-based private education law!
WPA’s Legislative Watch committee continues to monitor and analyze legislation which could impact our very reasonable homeschool law. We encourage you to join WPA to support our mission to protect the right of parents to provide an education to their children according to their own principles and beliefs. Please encourage your fellow homeschoolers and homeschooling supporters to join Wisconsin Parents Association as well.
