A podcast for members of the Wisconsin Association of School Boards and others about a wide range of educational issues they consider as elected officials.
Public education has been a major topic during the current legislative session, which is now just weeks away from concluding. The WASB has tracked more than 300 bills this session.
Reading instruction, school safety, licensure changes and student health have all been at the center of legislative proposals.
This episode, we check in with the WASB’s Government Relations Team to get an update on where we are as the session wraps up. We’ll also discuss some of the important themes that we’ve been following in Madison.
As always, follow the Legislative Update blog (https://wasb.org/legislative-update/) for the latest news.

47. The Roles and Duties of School Board Officers (Rerun)
This episode, a rebroadcast from March 2021, focuses on the roles and duties of school board officers — president, vice president, treasurer and clerk.
We spoke about with a WASB attorney and governance consultant about the legal requirements for board officers as well as the duties enshrined in boards’ policies and practices.
We think this conversation is still valuable, especially considering boards will be selecting officers in just a few short months.
If you're a Wisconsin school board member or district staff, go in-depth on board officer roles by subscribing to the WASB Online Learning Platform (https://wasb.org/meeting-and-events/online-learning-platform-home/).
