An Act to create 39.535 and 115.28 (59) (am) of the statutes; Relating to: academic and career planning services provided to pupils and requiring the reporting of certain data on college student costs and outcomes. (FE)
Impact
Beginning in the 2027-28 school year, the academic and career planning services offered by public schools will be improved through the incorporation of the reported data. The bill mandates that the state superintendent of public instruction provide this information to school boards, which in turn must deliver it to students in grades 11 and 12. This could lead to more informed decision-making for students regarding their educational and career paths based on quantifiable outcomes and economic trends.
Summary
Senate Bill 199 requires institutions of higher education in Wisconsin, including the University of Wisconsin System, technical colleges, and private nonprofit colleges, to collect and report specific data regarding student costs and outcomes. The bill's key provisions include annual reporting on average salaries of graduates, average student debt, graduation rates, total costs of attendance, financial aid, and popular degree programs. This information is aimed at enhancing academic and career planning services for high school juniors and seniors.
Contention
Notable points of contention may arise around the data collection process, particularly regarding how accurately institutions can report such detailed information. Concerns may also be raised about the burden placed on educational institutions to comply with these reporting requirements and the potential implications for funding based on these outcomes. Critics might argue that while providing such data is essential, the practicality and consistency of data reporting may vary widely among institutions, influencing the validity of the information disseminated to students.
