School accountability bill a 'disaster,' former state Sen. Dale Schultz says. (Capital Times, 1/12/2015)

Assembly Bill 1, introduced by Reps. Jeremy Thiesfeldt, R-Fond du Lac, and Jessie Rodriguez, R-Franklin, allows for public schools that don't meet academic progress requirements and then don't follow through on an improvement plan to be converted into independent charter schools.

As for Jeremy Thiesfeldt, it bears repeating.
