118.60 (2)
2
(a) 6. e. and 119.23 (2) (a) 6. d. of the statutes;
relating to:
allowing
3
individuals who hold a substitute teaching permit to substitute teach at
4
private schools participating in a parental choice program.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, all teachers at a private school participating in Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, Racine Parental Choice Program, or the statewide parental choice program must have a teaching license issued by the Department of Public Instruction or a bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited institution of higher education. Under the bill, an individual who holds a substitute teacher permit issued by DPI may teach as allowed under the permit at a private school participating in a parental choice program.
Current law requires DPI to grant a substitute teacher permit, also known as the three-year short-term substitute teacher permit, to an applicant who 1) has an associate degree and successfully completes substitute teacher training or 2) is at least 20 years old, is enrolled in a teacher preparatory program and has enough credits to be a junior in that program, and has completed at least 15 hours of classroom observation. A substitute teacher permit authorizes the holder of the permit to teach as a short-term substitute in any subject in any grade level.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
