2005 - 2006 LEGISLATURE

2005 Senate BILL 322

September 9, 2005 - Introduced by Senators Olsen, Brown and Darling, cosponsored by Representatives Towns, M. Williams, Hahn, Ott, Musser, Gunderson and Hines. Referred to Committee on Education.

SB322,1,3 An Act to renumber and amend 117.17 (2); and to create 117.17 (2) (b) of the statutes; relating to: mailing of copies of school district reorganization orders issued by the School District Boundary Appeal Board.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the School District Boundary Appeal Board (SDBAB) must send a certified copy of any resolution or order that grants, affirms, or denies a reorganization or resolves a boundary dispute, by certified mail, to the clerk of each city, village, town, or county, any part of which is contained within an affected school district, or, for boundary disputes, any part of which is contained within a school district involved in the dispute.

Under this bill, for reorganizations that involve the detachment from one school district and the attachment to another school district of small territory (territory that constitutes less than 7 percent of the equalized value of the former school district), the SDBAB must send a certified copy of the order, by certified mail, to the clerk of each city, village, or town in which any part of the territory is located, and to the clerk of each county in which any part of an affected school district is located.

For further information see the state 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:
