AI Summary
This bill requires school boards, independent charter school operators, and governing bodies of private schools participating in certain school choice programs to display a prominent sign in a public area of each school building. The sign must include the telephone number for the local agency responsible for receiving and investigating child abuse and neglect reports. Specifically, the bill amends Wisconsin statutes by adding Section 118.07 (6), which mandates that schools post contact information for local agencies as defined in section 48.981 (1) (ag). This requirement aims to ensure that students, parents, and school staff have easy access to the appropriate contact information for reporting potential child abuse or neglect, potentially helping to protect children by making it easier to alert authorities about suspected cases of child maltreatment.
