Bill > SB10

This bill requires school boards and governing boards of charter schools in Wisconsin to provide military recruiters with specific access to public high schools, in line with federal law (10 USC 503(c)). Specifically, military recruiters must be allowed to access common areas of high school buildings during recruitment visits and be permitted in high schools during school days or school-sanctioned events. Importantly, the bill does not require schools to allow military recruiters into classrooms during instructional time. The bill mandates that these access requirements apply regardless of the level of access provided to postsecondary educational institutions or prospective employers. The provisions will first take effect during the 2025-26 school year and apply to both traditional public school districts and charter schools in Wisconsin. The bill amends existing statutes to ensure consistent implementation of military recruiter access across different types of public high schools in the state, aimed at providing military recruitment opportunities while maintaining school operational flexibility.
