Ms. Elizabeth Burmaster Superintendent of Public Instruction Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction P.O Box 7841 125 South Webster Street Madison, WI 53707
Dear Ms. Burmaster:
On June 21, 2006, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) submitted a response to the monitoring report that resulted from a program review conducted by the Academic Improvement and Teacher Quality Programs office of the U.S. Department of Educations Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The program office team reviewed your States progress in meeting the highly qualified teacher (HQT) provisions of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001, and your States administration of the ESEA Title II, Part A Improving Teacher Quality State Grants program. Thank you for your prompt response to the monitoring report.
The Department believes that all of the findings identified in the monitoring report have been satisfactorily addressed in the DPI response. We commend your excellent work in responding to the concerns raised by the monitoring report, particularly in regard to reporting on the HQT status of veteran elementary teachers and the clarifications provided on the States HOUSSE procedures. We are confident that DPI is correctly reporting its HQT data.
The U.S. Department of Education believes that the DPI is, in general, implementing the HQT provisions of the statute and making an effort to meet the HQT goal, but because you did not reach it in all districts and schools by the end of the 2005-06 school year, the Department looks forward to reviewing the revised plan you will submit in July that details the specific steps you will take to reach the HQT goal in the 2006-07 school year and beyond.
Sincerely,
/s/
Henry L. Johnson
