What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates an expired provision of the open enrollment program. The

bill also eliminates a provision in the open enrollment program that permits a school

district to deny the transfer of a pupil into or out of the school district if the transfer

would increase racial imbalance in the school district. In December 2007, the

Wisconsin attorney general issued an opinion finding this provision to be

unenforceable based upon a decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in

Parents Involved

in Community Schools, et al. v. Seattle School District No. 1

, 551 U.S. 701 (2007).
