On Thursday, January 31, State Superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster held a news conference with state Representative Gary Hebl and state Senator Julie Lassa, unveiling legislation to establish world language instruction in Wisconsin elementary schools. The event was held at Netherwood Knoll Elementary in the Oregon School District, where elementary world language instruction is being implemented next year. Photos of the event have been posted in the State Superintendent's on-line photo gallery.

Later that day, the state superintendent addressed the annual Senior High Conference of the Association of Wisconsin School Administrators, and presented the 2007 AWSA High School Principal of the Year award to Larry Haase of Menasha High School.
