Back **ALL EYES ON WISCONSIN: A Review of the Major Legal and Legislative Battles Over Wisconsin’s Online Public Charter Schools - John Watson, Rose Fernandez, Chris Mohrman, Susan Patrick, Senator John Lehman (D-Racine), Senator Luther Olsen (R-Ripon)**

//In March 2008, with the future of Wisconsin’s online schools in doubt, NACOL President Susan Patrick wrote these words to Gov. Jim Doyle: “The eyes of the world are on Wisconsin.” Three months earlier, a state appellate court had ruled online charter schools in Wisconsin were illegal. Wisconsin quickly became the center of a national debate over online learning. This session will explore the major policy and legal issues involved and how the Legislature eventually passed legislation that preserved Wisconsin’s online schools.//
