An Act

to amend
119.04 (1);
to create
118.40 (4) (ar) 3. and 120.12 (29) of the
2
statutes;
relating to:
access to public high schools for military recruiters.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
In general, federal law requires local educational agencies, such as school boards and charter schools, that receive federal assistance under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to provide military recruiters the same access to secondary school students that the local educational agencies provide to postsecondary educational institutions or to prospective employers. This bill requires school boards and governing boards of charter schools to, in addition to complying with federal law, specifically allow military recruiters access to common areas in high schools and to allow access during a school day and to school-sanctioned events. Nothing in the bill requires a school board or governing board of a charter school to provide a military recruiter access to a high school classroom during instructional time.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
AB32,1

Section
