To the Honorable, the Assembly:
Pursuant to Section 9139 (2c) of
1999 Wisconsin Act 9, I am submitting to the governor and the legislature the enclosed "transition plan" for the Wisconsin Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired (WCBVI). This plan was prepared in consultation with the Blind and Visual Impairment Education Council, also created by
1999 Wisconsin Act 9. The council met January 12, February 7, and April 3, 2000, and held a teleconference on April 28, 2000. The primary purpose of these meetings was to consult with the department on the development of the required transition plan.
The transition plan recommends 19.0 FTE staff to provide the services identified in the plan. Most of these staff, however, will be reallocated from existing positions that have been held vacant. All of the staff and services recommended in the plan would be phased in during fiscal years 2001 through 2003.
As stated earlier, more details relating to the proposed implementation of the transition plan will be contained in the department's 2001-03 biennial budget proposal, which will be submitted later this year.
Sincerely,
John T. Benson
State Superintendent
Referred to committee on Education.
