AB721,1,3
1An Act to repeal 118.40 (2r) (cq) of the statutes;
relating to: the number of
2independent charter schools authorized by the College of Menominee Nation or
3the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill eliminates the limit on the total number of charter schools that may
be authorized by the College of Menominee Nation and the Lac Courte Oreilles
Ojibwa Community College. Under current law, the total number of charter schools
that the College of Menominee Nation and the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa
Community College may authorize is six.
Under current law, the Office of Educational Opportunity in the University of
Wisconsin System, the City of Milwaukee, the chancellor of an institution in the UW
System, a technical college district board, the county executive of Waukesha County,
the College of Menominee Nation, and the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community
College may contract with a person to operate a charter school. A charter school
authorized by one of these entities is commonly known as an independent charter
school. Current law does not limit the number of charter schools that may be
authorized by independent charter school authorizers other than the College of
Menominee Nation and the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College.
For further information see the 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
