MADISON, Wis. (AP) - State Superintendent Tony Evers says he doesn’t know how many public schools may not be in compliance with the Act 10 collective bargaining law.

Gov. Scott Walker proposed Wednesday that schools wanting to tap any of the $500 million in new state aid must be compliant with the law.

The law also required public workers to contribute more for their pensions and health insurance costs. Most school districts have taken advantage of the law to reduce their costs by having teachers and other employees contribute more.

But some, like Madison, have been able to avoid having their teachers contribute as much for health insurance as other districts.

Evers says he doesn’t know what Walker means by compliance and is waiting for more details.
