The Legislature?s new Republican leaders will emphasize giving school districts, parents and students more choices as they seek reforms in K-12 education Sen. Luther Olsen (R-Ripon) has hired education policy consultant Sarah Archibald, a UW-Madison professor and researcher at the conservative-leaning Wisconsin Policy Research Institute. Archibald has written about attracting high-quality teachers by offering bonuses to top math and science students who decide to teach, making it easier for teachers trained outside Wisconsin to obtain certification here and increasing the grade-point requirement for aspiring teachers above the current 2.5.
