  • The 2015-17 Wisconsin state budget that Scott Walker signed on July 12, 2015, cut state funding to the University of Wisconsin system by $250 million and removed tenure protections for University of Wisconsin professors from state law. In addition, under this budget, the number of authorizers of privately run charter schools increased and publicly funded schools, whether public, charter or voucher, are no longer required to administer the same standardized tests.[2]
  • In July 2014, Walker asked "members of the state Legislature to pass a bill in early January to repeal Common Core and replace it with standards set by people in Wisconsin."[3]
  • In 2011, Walker signed "2011 Wisconsin Act 105," which, among other things, authorized school boards to use standardized test scores to evaluate teacher performance.[4]
  • As governor, Walker expanded Wisconsin's school voucher program to "allow low-income families to find the right environment for their child, no matter their zip code or family income." He also created a budget that "phases out the so-called 'funding flaw' over 12 years by making the Milwaukee program fully-state funded. Going forward, increases to the choice and charter per pupil payment will match increases to the public school revenue limit."[5]
