The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has adopted a new, redesigned organizational structure to better serve students, educators, and communities statewide.
This reorganization is one part of our broader strategic plan and reflects a commitment to being more responsive, effective, and aligned across the agency.
Check out this one page resource to learn more about this initiative and how it impacts you.
We’re focused on four priorities as part of our strategic plan:
- Innovative Education: Every learner is engaged, challenged, and seen.
- Educator Recruitment & Retention: Building and retaining strong, stable staff in every school and library.
- Mental Health: Support for students and staff, because learning can’t happen without wellness.
- A Modernized DPI: Clear, helpful and responsive in all we do.
Why Now?
Over the span of two years, we listened to voices across the state: educators, families, students and community leaders. The feedback that we heard helped shape a plan that is rooted in better meeting the needs of Wisconsin. This reorganization helps us deliver faster, more efficient, user-friendly support.
What It Means for You
This change is about much more than internal structure. It’s about impact. We’re holding ourselves accountable to serve you better – whether you’re in a classroom, a school district office, a library, or at home.
Moving Forward
Our reorganization is just the beginning. We’re committed to acting with urgency, clarity, and heart – so every child, educator, and family feels the impact. Let’s move forward – together.
