Wisconsin DPI chief focusing on school funding, assessments, evaluations

Janet Ortegon:

In the state's ongoing effort to create better ways to evaluate teachers and assess how much students are learning, the biggest question might be how to pay for them.

Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Superintendent Tony Evers was in Sheboygan on Monday to talk about the DPI's plan to help better prepare Wisconsin students for the future.

Part of the plan is school finance reform, which Evers said he is not giving up on despite major cuts to state aid that came about as a result of Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10. In fact, he said, a big part of the battle will be getting state leaders to realize that investment in public education is in the state's long-term economic best interest.
