It is also the state agency concerned with public libraries in Wisconsin. The department is led by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, a non-partisan, constitutional officer elected every four years. Tony Evers was elected state superintendent in 2009, and re-elected to another 4 year term in 2013.[1] Supported by public tax levies and the free school movement, public school attendance in Wisconsin has increased from 14,000 students in 1846[2] to 870,470 students in the 2011-2012 school year.[3]
