Assembly Bill 1114 establishes a fine arts teacher mentorship program in Wisconsin, aimed at supporting beginning music, art, and performing arts teachers. The bill mandates the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to contract with a Wisconsin-based nonprofit organization that is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This organization will provide mentorship resources, advice, and connections to experienced teachers, while also matching the funding provided by DPI. The program is set to begin in the 2026-27 school year and includes provisions for quarterly reporting on compliance and expenditures by the nonprofit organization.

The bill outlines specific activities and resources that the mentorship program must include, such as guidance for teachers, financial assistance for state conferences, and materials designed to enhance teaching effectiveness. Additionally, it allows for the reimbursement of mentors' business travel expenses related to their duties in the program. The state superintendent is granted the authority to suspend or revoke contracts for good cause, ensuring oversight of the program's implementation.
