Wisconsin Consolidated ESSA State Plan

 

DPI seeking public comment on renewing existing state plan long-term goals (December 9 - 20, 2024)

Due to the impending expiration of Wisconsin's long-term goals required by Section 1111(c)(4)(A) of ESEA, as amended by ESSA, Wisconsin is renewing its long-term goals through 2029-30. The ESSA requires states to establish ambitious long-term goals in English Language Arts and mathematics achievement, graduation, and English Learners' progress toward English language proficiency. Wisconsin’s approved ESSA State Plan includes long-term goals, which expire at the conclusion of the 2024-25 school year. The proposed long-term goals are generated by input based on extensive stakeholder consultations prior to the initial ESSA plan submission.

The proposed updates are included in the redlined Wisconsin State Plan at the following link: https://dpi.wi.gov/sites/default/files/imce/esea/pdf/WI_ESSA_Plan_2024_LTG_updates_-_with_red_font_and_strikethroughs.pdf.

Stakeholder Feedback Summary - Summer 2017

 

Wisconsin is required under federal law to submit a plan under the Every Student Succeeds Act to the U.S. Department of Education by September 18, 2017. The public comment period will be open until June 30, 2017, after which time the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) will ask to meet with the Senate and Assembly Education Committees for a review in July and compile a revised draft for the Governor to review.

The DPI has provided a brief snapshot, and short videos are available regarding key topics in the plan .

Components required to be addressed in the plan include:

  • Title I, Part A: Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational Agencies (this includes the assessments used, the federal accountability system, and school improvement)
  • Title I, Part C: Education of Migratory Children
  • Title I, Part D: Prevention and Intervention of Programs for Children and Youth who are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk (Title I, Part D YouTube video)
  • Title II, Part A: Supporting Effective Instruction
  • Title III, Part A, Subpart 1: English Language Acquisition and Language Enhancement
  • Title IV, Part A: Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants
  • Title IV, Part B: 21st Century Community Learning Centers
  • Title V, Part B, Subpart 2: Rural and Low-Income School Program
  • Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program, McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, Title VII, Subtitle B (EHCY Overview YouTube video)

In developing this draft, the DPI relied upon the input from last summer’s stakeholder sessions, which engaged people from across the state and were also hosted virtually, as well as online feedback that was solicited through the end of 2016. Thoughts on school improvement and accountability DPI received were summarized and posted online. Additionally, the critical review and input from the State Superintendent’s Equity Council defined the direction the plan took, and the Equity Council will continue to advise the DPI moving forward. Additional stakeholder engagement is also documented within the plan. The Assembly and Senate Education Committees were provided multiple briefings and materials as part of the plan development process.

You are invited to comment on the plan (April 28 through June 30, 2017) or attend one of the feedback sessions the DPI will be hosting in June.
