Bill Summary · AB 1104

Legislative bill overview

AB 1104 would require Wisconsin school boards to compensate teachers for time spent on non-classroom duties and services beyond their regular teaching responsibilities. The bill was introduced in March 2026 and failed to pass in the Senate in late March under Senate Joint Resolution 1 procedures.

Why is this important

Teacher compensation for non-classroom work directly affects educator workload, job satisfaction, and district budgets. This addresses a widespread practice where teachers perform grading, lesson planning, committee work, and student supervision without explicit additional pay, potentially impacting teacher recruitment and retention in Wisconsin schools.

Potential points of contention

  • Cost implications: School districts would face potentially significant budget increases to compensate teachers for hours already embedded in their employment, raising questions about funding sources and taxpayer impact
  • Definition and measurement challenges: Determining what qualifies as compensable "nonclassroom services" and tracking hours could create administrative complexity and disputes between teachers and districts
  • Competitive effects: Mandating additional compensation in Wisconsin could create pressure on other states or create inequities if neighboring districts operate under different rules
