According to Wisconsin’s State Superintendent Tony Evers, “Wisconsin enshrined education for 4-year-olds in our state’s constitution, making it easier for all public schools, including charter schools, to offer preschool services to children and families in their communities. We also have strong chartering laws that encourage collaboration.”
