In Wisconsin, policies adopted by local school boards play an enormous role in shaping public schools. Each entry in this field guide focuses on a specific aspect of school policy—explaining the legal context, exploring the different approaches districts take, and walking through strategies for challenging or changing policies that aren’t working. I hope the info you find here empowers you to engage in informed policy advocacy with your school board.
