Impact

The enactment of SB201 is expected to have a significant impact on educational policy within the state. By requiring school districts to gather and report this data, it will facilitate a clearer understanding of the demographic composition of American Indian students in Wisconsin. This information can help in shaping educational programs and policies that cater specifically to the needs of these communities, promoting better educational outcomes and more efficient allocation of resources.

Summary

This includes detailed information such as the numbers, ages, and tribal affiliations of these students. The bill was created in response to the need for improved data collection regarding American Indian pupils, ensuring that their unique educational needs can be better addressed by authorities.
