Notes

I spent about an hour looking on google and at the library. Cannot find independent sources for:

name change to "Terri McCormick Dawson"
PhD
claim that she founded "Wisconsin Charter School Association" (WCAS) - this independent source from 1997 (Volunteers Honored With United Way Golden Rule Award. Wisconsin State Journal (Madison, WI). (May 10, 1997)) says it was somebody named June Coleman. I imagine it was a group of people but that is the only independent source i found about it. That organization shut down in 2014 per this capture in internet archive.
claims that she wrote Act 27 of 1995 -- (here is legislative history; per that it came from the governor's office. per this it removed a bunch of restrictions in the original 1993 law. I looked for McCormick or even the "Wisconsin Charter School Association" as involved with writing the legislation and didn't find anything.

She self-published an autobiography:

McCormick, Terri (2009). What sex is a republican? : stories from the front lines in American politics and how you can change the way things are. Bloomington: ¡Universe. ISBN 978-1440167270.
