SB206,1,2
1An Act to amend 121.54 (10) of the statutes;
relating to: transportation for
2pupils participating in the open enrollment program.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law authorizes a school board to provide transportation under the open
enrollment program for nonresident pupils who are attending public school in the
school district or for resident pupils who are attending school in another school
district. The school board may not provide transportation, however, for a
nonresident pupil to or from a location within the boundaries of the school district
in which the pupil resides. This bill allows a school board to do so with the approval
of the school board of the school district in which the pupil resides.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
