The Honorable, The Senate:
According to the 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 intradistrict students bused under the Chapter
220 designation for the school year 2008-2009 equals 15, 037. Of that number 780 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.
The four reports contain the following information:
The ethnic breakdown by Grade Level for the 780 students.
Code 1= American Indian Code 2 = African American
Code 3 = Asian Code 4 = Hispanic
Code 5 = White Code 6 = Other
The ethnic code breakdown by School Attendance Area.
The male or female breakdown by Grade Level.
