- Per State Superintendent approval in Spring 2022, the standards for Literacy in All Subjects (Disciplinary Literacy) will be embedded into each of the individual sets of content area standards and will no longer be published as stand-alone standards.
- Per State Superintendent approval in Summer 2023, the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards (WMELS) will no longer be reviewed or revised under the Wisconsin DPI Academic Standards Review / Revision Process and will instead undergo a collaborative process for review and revision as determined by DPI, DCF (Department of Children and Families), and DHS (Department of Health Services).
