Administrative Rules Hearing – PI 17 (Summer and interim session classes)

Event Description

This hearing is to accept public testimony on proposed permanent rule Clearinghouse Rule 21-008, relating to expanding virtual summer and interim session courses. The objective of the proposed rule is to expand options for school districts and county children with disabilities education boards. The proposed rule will amend ch. PI 17 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code to include virtual instruction taught to any grade level during summer classes or laboratory periods that are necessary for academic purposes. The proposed rule will create consistency between the rules governing how virtual courses are aided during the summer and interim session and the regular school year.

The Department will hold the public hearing by teleconference only. Written comments received no later than the date of the hearing will be given the same consideration as testimony presented at the hearing.

A copy of the proposed rule is available on the department's Administrative Rules webpage or the Wisconsin Legislature Rules site.
