| Educational Options |

The law provides that any person having under their control a child who is between the ages of 6 and 18 years and that has not yet graduated from high school shall cause the child to attend school regularly during the full period and hours, religious holidays excepted, that the public or private school in which the child should be enrolled is in session until the end of the school term, quarter, or semester of the school year in which the child becomes 18 years of age. [Wis. Stat. § 118.15(1)(a)]. Instruction in a home-based private educational program (home schooling) that meets the criteria found in Wis. Stat. § 118.165(1) may be substituted for attendance at a public or private school. [Wis. Stat. § 118.15(4)]. There is no exception in the law for a child who has been expelled and that child is still required to attend school (or a legal alternative). If the expelled student is a student with a disability, the resident district must continue to provide a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). |
