To the Honorable, the Legislature:
According to Wisconsin School Law 121.87 in accordance with 13.172, the Board is required by law to submit the enclosed reports. School Law 121.87 states “...annually by May 1 the board of school directors of the school district operating under ch.
119 shall submit a report to the legislature under s.
13.172(2) that specifies the number, percentage, race, sex, grade and attendance area of pupils transferred outside their attendance area without written consent under s.
121.85 (6)(am)."
Enclosed you will find a report that meet the requirements stated above. The total number of intra‐district students bused under the Chapter
220 designation for the school year 2006‐2007 equals 15,837. Of that number 726 either did not return a consent form or checked box indicating no consent. Students who have moved during the school year and no longer require parental consent were subtracted from the non‐returned figure. The district did meet the requirement of ninety‐five percent (95%) parents providing consent.
Sincerely,
Michael Turza
Director of Business Services
Referred to committee on Education.
