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 compared 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.
In federal and state legislative sessions and local town council meetings there is a common selling point for any new spending. New taxes and regulations are often sold as tools to “improve society,” “protect consumers,” or “level the playing field.” But beneath the glossy rhetoric lies a deeper, more troubling reality: each new mandate chips away at personal liberty, shrinks individual responsibility, and consolidates power in the hands of bureaucracies. The truth is simple but unpopular—freedom and government control are inversely related.
Taxation is the most direct way governments reduce individual freedom. Every dollar a governmental body takes is a dollar we can’t spend, save, or invest in accordance with our own values and judgment. We are compelled to trust the “administration” to manage our future better than we can ourselves.
