## Resource

In June 2024, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction updated their testing standards for K-12 schools. But the conference held to determine these updates was subject to unusual levels of secrecy, and its results have raised concerns from both sides of the aisle. This week on “Transparency Talk”, hosts Tom Kamenick and Bill Lueders discuss the DPI conference, its controversies, and Tom’s ongoing lawsuit regarding the issue. But before we turn it over to Tom and Bill, our standard reminder that this conversation is not intended to be specific legal advice but rather a discussion of general legal issues. If you have a particular legal issue, please consult an attorney.
