Dear Chief Clerk Sanders:
As you know, I have decided not to seek re-election to the Wisconsin State Assembly. This decision was not easy for me. I enjoyed my 12 years in office, but look forward to returning to private life.
I intend to devote all of my time and effort toward finding a new career. This will not be possible unless I resign from office. I request that my employment as State Representative to the 74th Assembly District be terminated at midnight on July 31, 1998.
I will contact you next week to discuss the Assembly's retirement procedures and the status of my retirement and deferred compensation accounts.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you any questions.
Sincerely,
Barbara J. Linton
74th Assembly District

Wisconsin Technical College System Board

June 3, 1998
To the Honorable, the Assembly:
I am please to share with you the following report in compliance with section
38.04(21) of the statutes.
The 1997-99 state budget bill (
1997 Wisconsin Act 27) included a provision which requires the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) to submit a report regarding high school pupils attending technical colleges. The report is to be submitted annually to the Legislature and to three state agencies (Department of Administration, Public Instruction and Workforce Development).
A957
Another provision in the budget bill (Section 9340(5x)) which relates to the initial applicability of s.
38.04(21) created some ambiguity as to when the Legislature intended the first report to be submitted. Nevertheless, the WTCS decided to provide the first report this year. Although the statutory deadline for the report is the third Monday in February, we informed the Legislature and the three agencies that due to the need for additional time to obtain the necessary data from the 16 technical college (WTCS) districts, the first report would be submitted by June, 1998.
A more extensive printout (358 pages) is available upon request from the WTCS Board office which provides a detailed breakdown of the data. For example, this printout identifies for each school district, the technical colleges attended by the high school pupils and the instructional level (postsecondary education, basic skills education or adult continuing education) of the courses taken by the pupils.
If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Dan Clancy, Assistant State Director, at (608) 266-7983.
Sincerely,
EDWARD CHIN
State Director
Referred to committee on Colleges and Universities.
