About Wisconsin Dept of Public Instruction
Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.
The Department of Public Instruction is the state agency that advances public education and libraries in Wisconsin. It is headed by the state superintendent of public instruction, a nonpartisan, constitutional officer elected every four years. Elected in 2009, State Superintendent Tony Evers is working for a Wisconsin with Every Child a Graduate, College and Career Ready. The agency was created in 1848, the year Wisconsin attained statehood, when the state constitution provided for the establishment of local school districts and a free education for all children in the state.
