relating to: transportation of

3enrolled.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, with certain exceptions, a school district must provide
transportation to and from public school for all pupils who reside in the school district
two miles or more from the nearest public school they are entitled to attend. This bill
provides that if a pupil enrolled in the school district is living outside the school
district as the result of a joint custody arrangement, at the request of the pupil's
parent or guardian the school district must transport the pupil to and from an
agreed-upon location within the school district.
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
enact as follows:
