Relating to: the membership of the Professional Standards Council for Teachers.

SB 88 amends Wisconsin Statute 15.377 (8) (c) 14 to change membership requirements for the Professional Standards Council for Teachers (PSCT). It removes the current requirement that one council member must be "licensed as a teacher by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI)," replacing it with a requirement that the member be "employed as a teacher in a tribal school" and recommended by a federally recognized Wisconsin tribe with a tribal school. This change directly affects the PSCT’s composition by expanding eligibility for the tribal school representative position to include teachers without DPI licenses who work in tribal schools. The bill does not alter the council’s advisory role to the Department of Public Instruction or other council membership rules.
