State Superintendent Advisory Council for 4K and 4K Community Approaches

Since that time, the council has continued to provide guidance to Wisconsin's State Superintendent, to implement and strengthen community approaches the provision of 4K services for the children of Wisconsin. This council is made up of stakeholders from the child care, Head Start, public school, and high education communities.
