Note: Current law provides that the subsection which specifies that, subject to
certain exceptions, law enforcement records relating to children under ch. 48 (the
children's code) are confidential does not apply to the confidential exchange of

information between the police and school officials. Current law further requires that
public school officials who obtain information under this provision keep the information
confidential as required in s. 118.125, stats. (relating to the confidentiality of pupil
records). Current law also requires that private school officials who obtain information
under this provision keep the information confidential in the same manner as is required
of a public school official. The bill permits the police to confidentially exchange
information with tribal school officials if the police determine that a tribal school policy
or tribal law provides enforceable protections that require tribal school officials to keep
the information confidential in a manner at least as stringent as is required of public and
private school officials.
AB199, s. 32 1Section 32. 48.65 (2) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB199,20,22 48.65 (2) (b) A public or parochial school or a tribal school.
Note: The day care license statute requires that, with certain exceptions, a facility
that provides care for 4 or more children under the age of 7 must obtain a day care center
license. Because the day care license statute is a state civil regulatory law, it is not clear
that this statute applies to a facility operated by a tribe or tribal member on a reservation
or off-reservation trust land, although a tribe or tribal member may choose to obtain a
license. In the event a court interprets the day care license statute as applying to a tribe
or tribal member, the bill makes clear that a tribal school is not subject to this statute.
AB199, s. 33 3Section 33. 48.78 (2) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB199,21,44 48.78 (2) (b) Paragraph (a) does not apply to the confidential exchange of
5information between an agency and another social welfare agency, a law
6enforcement agency, a public school, or a private school regarding an individual in
7the care or legal custody of the agency. A social welfare agency that obtains
8information under this paragraph shall keep the information confidential as
9required under this section and s. 938.78. A law enforcement agency that obtains
10information under this paragraph shall keep the information confidential as
11required under ss. 48.396 (1) and 938.396 (1) (a). A public school that obtains
12information under this paragraph shall keep the information confidential as
13required under s. 118.125, and a private school that obtains information under this
14paragraph shall keep the information confidential in the same manner as is required
15of a public school under s. 118.125. Paragraph (a) does not apply to the confidential
16exchange of information between an agency and officials of a tribal school regarding

1an individual in the care or legal custody of the agency if the agency determines that
2enforceable protections are provided by a tribal school policy or tribal law that
3requires tribal school officials to keep the information confidential in a manner at
4least as stringent as is required of a public school official under s. 118.125.
Note: Section 48.78 (2) (a), stats., provides that, subject to certain exceptions,
DHFS, a county department of human services or county department of social services,
a licensed child welfare agency, or a licensed day care center (collectively referred to as
agency) must keep its records relating to children under ch. 48, stats., confidential.
Section 48.78 (2) (b), stats., provides an exception and permits the confidential exchange
of information with a public or private school which is then required to keep the
information confidential if required to do so under the pupil records statute. The bill
permits an agency to confidentially exchange information with tribal school officials if the
agency determines that a tribal school policy or tribal law provides enforceable
protections that require tribal school officials to keep the information confidential in a
manner at least as stringent as is required of public and private school officials.
AB199, s. 34 5Section 34. 49.26 (1) (a) 2. bm. of the statutes is created to read:
AB199,21,66 49.26 (1) (a) 2. bm. A tribal school, as defined in s. 115.001 (16).

program, which requires certain individuals to attend school under certain
circumstances as a condition of eligibility under the Wisconsin works program.
AB199, s. 35 7Section 35. 49.26 (1) (g) 2. of the statutes is amended to read:
AB199,21,108 49.26 (1) (g) 2. The individual has not graduated from a public or, private, or
9tribal
high school or obtained a declaration of equivalency of high school graduation
10under s. 115.29 (4).
Note: Provides an exception for the school attendance requirement under the
learnfare program if an individual has graduated from a tribal high school.
AB199, s. 36 11Section 36. 51.45 (4) (d) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB199,21,1712 51.45 (4) (d) Cooperate with the department of public instruction, local boards
13of education, schools, including tribal schools, as defined in s. 115.001 (16), police

16of alcoholics and intoxicated persons, and preparing curriculum materials thereon
17for use at all levels of school education.

Note: Requires DHFS to cooperate with various entities, including tribal schools,
to establish alcoholism prevention and treatment programs and to prepare curriculum
materials.
AB199, s. 37 1Section 37 . 103.21 (7) of the statutes is created to read:
AB199,22,22 103.21 (7) "Tribal school" has the meaning given in s. 115.001 (16).
AB199, s. 38 3Section 38 . 103.23 (2) (intro.) and (a) of the statutes are amended to read:
AB199,22,64 103.23 (2) (intro.) A minor under 12 years of age may work in a fund-raising
5sale for a nonprofit organization, a public school or , a private school, or a tribal school
6under the following conditions:
AB199,22,87 (a) Each minor must give the nonprofit organization, public school or, private
8school, or tribal school written approval from the minor's parent or guardian.
AB199, s. 39 9Section 39. 103.25 (3m) (c) and (5) of the statutes are amended to read:
AB199,22,1210 103.25 (3m) (c) This subsection does not apply to employment of a minor by a
11newspaper publisher or in a fund-raising sale for a nonprofit organization, a public
12school or, a private school, or a tribal school.
AB199,22,14 13(5) This section does not apply to employment of a minor in a fund-raising sale
14for a nonprofit organization, a public school or, a private school, or a tribal school.
AB199, s. 40 15Section 40. 103.27 (3) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB199,22,1816 103.27 (3) This section does not apply to employment of a minor in a
17fund-raising sale for a nonprofit organization, a public school or, a private school, or
18a tribal school

AB199, s. 41 19Section 41 . 103.275 (8) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB199,22,2220 103.275 (8) Exception. This section does not apply to the employment of a
21minor by a newspaper publisher or in a fund-raising sale for a nonprofit
22organization, a public school or, a private school, or a tribal school.
Note: Section 37 creates a definition of "tribal school" for purposes of the statutes
relating to minors working in the street trades or fund raising. In general, minors doing

fund raising by selling for a public or private school are exempt from these statutes. The
courts have not made clear if these statutes may be applied on reservations or on
off-reservation trust land to minors who are engaged in such activities for a tribal school.
While a court may be less likely to apply the statute to American Indian minors who are
fund raising on their own reservation or off-reservation trust land, it is possible that a
court would apply the statute to non-Indian minors who are fund raising for a tribal
school.
Sections 38 to 41 specify that the statutes do not apply if a minor is engaged in
fund-raising activities for a tribal school.
AB199, s. 42 1Section 42. 103.64 (6) of the statutes is created to read:
AB199,23,22 103.64 (6) "Tribal school" has the meaning given in s. 115.001 (16).

AB199,23,64 103.67 (2) (c) Minors 12 years of age or older may be employed in street trades,
5and any minor may work in fund-raising sales for nonprofit organizations, public
6schools or, private schools, or tribal schools, as provided in ss. 103.21 to 103.31.
Note: Relates to Sections 37 and 41 , above.
AB199, s. 44 7Section 44. 103.71 (1) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB199,23,148 103.71 (1) (b) A diploma or certificate to this effect issued by the superintendent
9of the parochial school system or by the principal of the parochial or private school
10or tribal school last attended by such minor. Such superintendent, principal, or clerk
11shall issue such diploma or certificate upon receipt of any application in behalf of any
12minor entitled thereto. As used in this paragraph the term "school district" shall
13apply to all regularly constituted school districts, including union free high school
14districts.
Note: Permits a child who has completed high school, including a tribal high
school, to be employed during school hours.
AB199, s. 45 15Section 45. 115.001 (16) of the statutes is created to read:
AB199,24,316 115.001 (16) "Tribal school" means an institution with an educational program
17that has as its primary purpose providing education in any grade or grades from
18kindergarten to 12 and that is controlled by the elected governing body of a federally

1recognized American Indian tribe or band in Wisconsin or by a tribal educational
2authority established under the laws of a federally recognized American Indian tribe
3or band in Wisconsin.
Note: Defines tribal school for purposes of chs. 115 to 121, stats., which relate to
K-12 education. This definition is also cross-referenced in statutes outside these
chapters that are being amended to refer to tribal schools.
AB199, s. 46 4Section 46. 115.28 (7) (b) and (e) 1. and (11) (intro.) of the statutes are amended
5to read:
AB199,24,156 115.28 (7) (b) Subject to the same rules and laws concerning qualifications of
7applicants and granting and revocation of licenses or certificates under par. (a), the
8state superintendent shall grant certificates and licenses to teachers in private
9schools and tribal schools, except that teaching experience requirements for such
10certificates and licenses may be fulfilled by teaching experience in either public or,
11private, or tribal schools. An applicant is not eligible for a license or certificate unless
12the state superintendent finds that the private school or tribal school in which the
13applicant taught offered an adequate educational program during the period of the
14applicant's teaching therein. Private schools are not obligated to employ only
15licensed or certified teachers.
Note: Provides that, although state law does not require that teachers in tribal
schools have a state license, a state license may be issued if the applicant who teaches in
a tribal school meets the state license criteria. Further provides that appropriate
experience in a tribal school is counted in determining teaching experience under the
state licensure law.
Whether a tribal school is obligated to employ only state licensed or certified
teachers is determined by tribal law (or by federal law if the tribal school receives funding
from the BIA). Because the issue is not determined by state law, the bill does not include
language regarding the matter.
AB199,25,316 (e) 1. In this paragraph, "alternative education program" means an
17instructional program, approved by the school board, that utilizes successful
18alternative or adaptive school structures and teaching techniques and that is
19incorporated into existing, traditional classrooms or regularly scheduled curricular

1programs or that is offered in place of regularly scheduled curricular programs.
2"Alternative educational program" does not include a private school , a tribal school,
3or a home-based private educational program.
Note: For the alternative education program license, specifies that, like a private
school, an alternative educational program does not include a tribal school.
AB199,25,10 4(11) Driver education courses. (intro.) Approve driver education courses
5offered by school districts, county children with disabilities education boards, and
6technical college districts for the purposes of s. 343.16 (1) (c) 1. and establish
7minimum standards for driver education courses offered in private schools and tribal
8schools
for the purposes of s. 343.16 (1) (c) 3. All driver education courses approved
9or for which standards are established under this subsection shall do all of the
10following:
Note: Requires the state superintendent to establish minimum standards for
driver education courses offered in tribal schools so that the courses can be accepted by
the department of transportation (DOT) under ss. 343.06 (1) (c) and 343.16, stats., which
relate to qualifications for a driver's license and examining applicants for a driver's
license.
If the tribal school does not comply with the requirements for the driver education
course, the consequence would be that DOT cannot accept the tribal school course for
purposes of the driver's license statute.
AB199, s. 47 11Section 47. 115.34 (2) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB199,25,2012 115.34 (2) The state superintendent shall make payments to school districts,

1742 USC 1751 et seq. Payments in the current year shall be determined by prorating
18the state's matching obligation based on the number of school lunches served to
19children in the prior year. In this subsection, "private school" means any school
20defined in s. 115.001 (3r) which complies with the requirements of 42 USC 2000d.

Note: Adds tribal schools to the school lunch program.
AB199, s. 48 1Section 48. 115.341 of the statutes is amended to read:

320.255 (2) (cm), the state superintendent shall reimburse each school board 10 cents
4for each breakfast served at a school that meets the requirements of 7 CFR 220.8 or

17percent milk, 0.5% milk, skim milk or chocolate milk on each day in which school is
18in session. If a child is allergic to milk or has metabolic disorders or other conditions
19which prohibit him or her from drinking milk, the child shall be offered juice as a
20substitute. Any school that participates in the program is encouraged to consider
21bids from local milk suppliers. The school shall keep all information related to the
22identity of the pupils who receive a beverage under the program confidential. In this

1subsection, "Wisconsin-produced" means that all or part of the raw milk used by the
2milk processor was produced in this state.
Note: Current law provides aid for the school day milk program. According to DPI
staff, this statute is interpreted as applying to all schools, including tribal schools. The
bill clearly specifies that tribal schools may be participating schools.

AB199,27,74 115.345 (7m) A private school or tribal school may establish a food services plan
