Governor OKs bill ending SAGE program

MADISON - Gov. Scott Walker has signed a bill to end Wisconsin's classroom SAGE program.

The Student Achievement Guarantee Program provides aid to schools that maintain an 18-to-1 or 30-to-2 teacher-student ratio for poor students in kindergarten through third grade. Schools enter into five-year contracts under the program.

The bill prohibits new SAGE contracts or renewals beyond one-year extensions for deals expiring at the end of this school year.
