Amid all the issues going on in Washington, it was good news that the House Education and Labor Committee held a hearing on April 21 on issues identified in the JJDPA reauthorizaton bill. You can check out the Youth Today report on the hearing. So, while reauthorization poses some problems for compliance in Wisconsin (see the January/February WisKids Journal), overall the fact that the discussion is continuing is positive.
