MADISON — The Department of Public Instruction will conduct a hearing from 1:30 to 3 p.m. May 28 at department headquarters, GEF 3, Room P41, 125 South Webster Street, Madison, to receive public testimony on emergency and proposed permanent rules related to educator licensing.
The department recently issued an overhaul of rules governing educator licensure based on
revisions recommended through a stakeholder workgroup, which became effective August 1, 2018. Upon further review, the department has identified further points of clarification within the rule to ensure the department can administer educator licensing with maximum efficiency.

Those using the building’s Butler Street handicapped accessible entrance should press a doorbell for admittance and check in with security.
