MADISON, Wis. (AP) – The Madison School District has released
additional sick notes given to Capitol protesters last year which
show two more doctors provided the excuses the district deemed to
be fraudulent.
     Fifteen doctors who signed the notes have not faced sanctions
from the state Medical Examining Board. The notes were written
after hundreds of teachers called in sick last February, closing
schools for four days. School district officials required the
absent employees to provide notes documenting a doctor visit. The
district docked pay from employees who didn’t have a legitimate
excuse. The protests erupted after Gov. Scott Walker proposed
cutting collective bargaining rights for most state workers.
     The State Journal (http://bit.ly/wCiswO ) says a board committee
plans to decide next month whether to investigate additional
doctors.
