In this session, we will:
- Review the legal obligations under Act 20
- Discuss recommended best practices beyond the minimum requirements
- Walk through the structure and content of the WILL Model Policy and Companion Guide, and
- Answer your questions live during a Q&A
You’re invited to a free webinar on Thursday, June 26 at 1:00 PM(CT) to walk through the WILL Model Policy on Act 20 Reading and Retention and the newly released Companion Guide to Implementing Act 20.
Under Wisconsin law (Wis. Stat. § 118.33(6)), all school districts must adopt a promotion and retention policy by July 1, 2025. WILL’s model policy is designed to help school boards meet these legal requirements while also promoting early literacy, empowering parents, and supporting teachers.
