State of Wisconsin
Technical College System Board
Madison
April 5, 1999
To the Honorable, the Assembly:
I am pleased to share with you the attached report in compliance with section
38.04(21) of the statutes. This provision requires the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) Board 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 (Departments of Administration, Public Instruction and Workforce Development).
A147
This is the second time that the WTCS Board has issued a report under this provision. The requirement was established in the 1997-99 state budget bill (
1997 Wisconsin Act 27). Although the statutory deadline for submitting the report is the third Monday in February, we were not able to obtain complete data from all 16 technical college districts until two weeks age. We apologize for the delay and will make every effort to comply with the deadline next year.
In summary, the report indicates that the number of high school pupils who attended technical college increased between 1996-97 and 1997-98. In particular, the following change in numbers occurred between the two years:
* The number of high school pupils who attended the WTCS under the 118.15 compulsory education option increased from 4,031 in 1996-97 to 4,375 in 1997-98.
* The number of high school pupils who attended the WTCS under the Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program increased from 505 in 1996-97 to 624 in 1997-98. It should be noted that these figures do not reflect the recent changes made to this program. Beginning in 1998-99, the PSEO program was renamed the Youth Options Program and a number of changes related to WTCS attendance was enacted. The impact of these changes will be reflected in next year's report.
* The number of high school pupils who enrolled in WTCS postsecondary level courses through means other than 118.15 or PSEO increased from 6,047 in 1996-97 to 6,223 in 1997-98.
If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Dan Clancy, Assistant State Director, at (608) 266-7983.
Sincerely,
