Wisconsin teachers with their licenses revoked for immoral conduct or incompetency could teach again under a provision in Gov. Scott Walker's proposed budget.

Walker's budget would remove a requirement that teachers at independent charter schools be licensed by the state, instead requiring teachers at those schools have only a bachelor's degree of some kind. Such a switch would create a loophole where people with revoked teaching licenses could potentially end up back in the classroom, according to Department of Public Instruction spokesman Patrick Gasper.

Racine County's only independent charter school, 21st Century Preparatory School, 1220 Mound Ave., would not be impacted because the school's charter requires teachers have licenses, said school Superintendent Robert Morelan.

But new charter schools created in the county as well as some charter schools across the state could end up hiring teachers with revoked licenses under Walker's budget, according to DPI.
