Primary and secondary education
Current law directs DPI to award grants to nonprofit organizations, cooperative educational service agencies, and the Milwaukee Public Schools for the purpose of providing advanced curriculum and assessments for gifted and talented pupils.
This bill allows DPI to award grants to the UW-Madison as well, but requires that all grants must be for the purpose of providing to gifted and talented pupils those services and activities not ordinarily provided in a regular school program that allow such pupils to fully develop their capabilities.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 118.35 (4) of the statutes is amended to read:
118.35 (4) From the appropriation under s. 20.255 (2) (fy), the department shall award grants to nonprofit organizations, cooperative educational service agencies, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the school district operating under ch. 119 for the purpose of providing advanced curriculum and assessments for to gifted and talented pupils those services and activities not ordinarily provided in a regular school program that allow such pupils to fully develop their capabilities.
