3-7-14 nfdl school superintendent testifies in madison

The North Fond du Lac school superintendent joined other superintendents from around the state testifying in Madison Thursday against a bill that would give the Legislature power to approve and write academic standards.   The Senate's Education Committee held a hearing on the measure Thursday.   The bill  would create a new state board tasked with writing model academic standards.  Aaron Sadoff says he believes its politically motivated;  "The reality is it would create a new governmental group, a bureaucracy, that would be doing the work of deciding what our kids should be learning, and at what level,"  Sadoff told WFDL news.
