2007 - 2008 LEGISLATURE
ASSEMBLY SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT 1,
TO 2007 ASSEMBLY BILL 165
January 8, 2008 - Offered by Representative Friske.
AB165-ASA1,1,2
1An Act to create 121.54 (2) (b) 5. and 6. of the statutes;
relating to:
2transportation of four-year-old kindergarten pupils attending private schools.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a school board that operates high school grades must,
generally, transport to and from school private school pupils who reside in the school
district and who reside at least two miles from the private school, regardless of the
grade in which the pupil is enrolled. This bill provides that a school board that does
not operate a four-year-old kindergarten program is not required to transport
four-year-old kindergarten pupils attending private schools, but requires a school
board that provides transportation of four-year-old kindergarten pupils to private
schools on the effective date of the bill to continue to do so. The bill provides that if
all of the private schools to and from which the school board transports pupils cease
to offer four-year-old kindergarten, the school board's obligation to provide
transportation of four-year-old kindergarten pupils to private schools terminates.
For further information see the state and local 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
