WASB Resolution by Director Gokalgandhi

Background:
|
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors has held a long-standing membership in the Wisconsin Association of School Boards. Resolutions adopted by the annual WASB Delegate Assemblies set the policy direction for the WASB and its lobbying efforts.
The WASB resolution process is meant to be member-driven. Each member board has an opportunity to put its imprint on the WASB’s policies. The process begins when member boards submit resolutions proposing new language or changing or repealing existing resolution language. Those board resolutions must be submitted to the WASB by Sept. 15.
The attached resolution is hereby submitted for adoption and referral to the next WASB delegate assembly for its consideration. The Resolved portion of the resolution reads:
RESOLVED, that MPS urges WASB and DPI to support legislation for bi-lingual, bi-cultural license applicants similar to the legislation enacted for special education license applicants to provide an alternative pathway to licensure that does not require passage of the FoRT exam, or
FURTHER, that MPS urges WASB and DPI to support legislation to explicitly direct the DPI to waive the FoRT exam requirement for bi-lingual, bi-cultural teaching license applicants.
