Rock County School Districts – 2023-2024 DPI Scorecard Summary – Lowered Standards
WHY DOES THE DPI SCORING MATTER?
Like any successful business or individual, there needs to be some method to measure & compare performance and progress over time. The WI Department of Public Instruction (DPI) provides the only method for parents and citizens to track the performance and progress of their school district over time, as well as compare to other school districts. The DPI Scorecard is not a perfect tool to accomplish this objective, but it is the best available method today. Since parents and taxpayers deserve to have this accountability, and since DPI believes this program is not effective to measure and compare performance and progress, then it is incumbent on DPI to develop and provide a better assessment program and to make it consistent from one year to the next.

Happy New Year! How were your holidays? Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas? Of course you didn’t. At some point, as we grew into responsible adults, most of us learned that there’s never enough money to get everything you want. One has to learn how to prioritize wants and needs and you stay within your budget.
If you and I agree on that point, how is it we have an education system in Wisconsin that still believes “Santa taxpayer” can bring districts everything they want?
