SB289,1,2
1An Act to amend 120.13 (31) of the statutes;
relating to: the appointment of
2adult school crossing guards.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law allows the governing body of any city, village, town, or county to
adopt an ordinance for the appointment of adult school crossing guards. Current law
also allows a school district to appoint adult school crossing guards if the school board
adopts a resolution to do so and the governing bodies of all of the cities, villages, and
towns located in whole or in part within the school district approve.
Under this bill, a school district may determine to appoint adult school crossing
guards unilaterally; approval by the cities, villages, and towns located in the school
district is unnecessary.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
SB289, s. 1
