AB357,1,2
1An Act to create 118.19 (11) of the statutes;
relating to: licensure of school
2principals.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
The administrative rules promulgated by the state superintendent of public
instruction currently provide for 2 levels of school principal licensure, with different
requirements for each level. The "elementary/middle level" principal license permits
the holder to serve as a principal in an elementary (grades 1 to 6), elementary/middle
(grades 1 to 9) or middle (grades 5 to 9) level school. The "middle/secondary level"
principal license permits the holder to serve as a principal in a middle,
middle/secondary (grades 6 to 12) or secondary (grades 9 to 12) level school.
This bill provides that a school principal license must authorize the individual
to serve as a principal for any grade level.
For further information see the state and local 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
