Governor Tony Evers Official Portrait
Wisconsin’s governor has floated a couple of ideas directed at helping students catch up when they return to the classroom after a year of virtual learning.
Governor Tony Evers suggests that public schools could open before September 1st for the 2021-2022 academic year.
That would require a change in state law by a Legislature that has resisted early starts in the past to avoid hurting the tourism industry.
Evers said Tuesday the earlier opening is something that might have to be done temporarily.
Students’ progress has been slowed significantly during the coronavirus pandemic.
