FAQs, Details, and Points to Note
-
How often is school board approval required? Wisconsin is a local control state, so districts have control over the District Library Plan and the timeline of its plan. The district school board needs to approve the District Library Plan each time the plan is renewed. For example, if a district creates a plan for 2023-2026, the Board approves the Plan in 2023, and the next District Library Plan will be presented to the school board for approval in 2026. Annual updates are encouraged by DPI as best practice, but this is not required.

What if the WISEadmin user changes? A change in person will have no effect on the District Library Plan that was entered by the previous user in any way.
