As Wisconsin GOP eyes K-12 math reform, conservative law firm wants to help school boards

Corrinne Hess:

….. a bill will be introduced soon that will include math screeners to provide testing and individualized plans to help struggling students catch up. 

“This bill is not going to be the full solution to the problem, but I think it’s going to be a very good first step in addressing a very serious problem,” Kitchens said. 

Act 20 was a bipartisan effort, but implementation wasn’t easy and a fight over funding made its way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court

Recognizing this, the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, a conservative law firm that has become more involved in education issues over the last several years, has decided to take on math reform itself.
