Wisconsin Assembly Votes to Approve Bill Overhauling DPI Test Standards

Sunday, February 23rd, 2025 -- 11:00 AM

(Wisconsin Radio Network) The Wisconsin Assembly voted along party lines Wednesday to approve a bill that overhauls Department of Public Instruction test standards.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, Bill author Representative Robert Wittke says there’s no legislative oversight on the scoring and assessment of Wisconsin kids, and the bill would establish that. Democrats said the bill is politically motivated and it won’t help student achievement.

It would reset state report card standards to levels set in 2019-20, align grades 3-8 with national standards, and restore high school testing standards to levels set in the 2021-22 school year.
