Cyberlobby against bill that would limit WTCS flexibility
WEAC opposes Assembly Bill 246, which would require technical college districts to adopt statewide curriculum and statewide admissions standards in health occupation programs.
No evidence has been presented to suggest that imposing statewide curriculum or admissions standards will help solve the shortage of health care workers. Rather, policymakers wanting to increase the number of WTCS graduates in the health occupations should expand capacity by investing additional resources in the WTCS health occupation programs.

WEAC's NEA Advocacy and Communications Teams focus on building relationships with Wisconsin's members of Congress back home. Team objectives include directly lobbying members of Congress or their staff on federal education issues, arranging school visits with the congressperson to give him or her a better idea of what happens in Wisconsin's great schools day to day, and to encourage others members within their congressional district to use the WEAC Cyberlobby for key federal issues when the time is right.
