Assembly Bill 592 mandates the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to collaborate with nonprofit organizations to create and implement a professional development program for science teachers in grades K-12 during the 2025-26 and 2026-27 school years. The program will include opportunities for teachers to receive science equipment at no cost if it is related to the professional development provided. Additionally, DPI is required to submit a report to the legislature by October 1, 2027, detailing the number of participants, the equipment distributed, and the organizations involved in the program.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that DPI must request funding from the Joint Committee on Finance within 45 days of the bill's enactment to support this initiative, utilizing funds allocated in the 2025 Wisconsin Act 15 for professional development for science teachers. This structured approach aims to enhance the quality of science education by equipping teachers with necessary resources and training.
