1An Act to amend 120.13 (37) (a) 1. of the statutes;
relating to: granting high

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a school board may award a high school diploma to a person
who attended high school in that school district or attended high school in the state
and resides in the school district if the person is 65 years or older, left high school to
join the U.S. armed forces during a war, and served on active duty under honorable
conditions.
This bill authorizes a school board to award a high school diploma to a person
who is 55 years or older if that person has a service-connected disability and, with
the exception of age, meets the above conditions.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
