WITHDRAWAL/DROPOUT FROM SCHOOL | Policy Manual

5130 - WITHDRAWAL/DROPOUT FROM SCHOOL

The Board of Education affirms that, while Wisconsin law requires attendance of each student until eighteen (18) years of age, it is in the best interests of both students and the community that all students complete the educational program that will equip them with skills and increase their chances for a successful and fulfilling life beyond the schools.

When a student wishes to withdraw from school, efforts should be made to determine the underlying reasons for withdraw. District resources should be used, when and as appropriate, to assist students in reaching his/her career goals and for compliance with compulsory attendance requirements.

No student under the age of eighteen (18) will be permitted to withdraw without the written consent of a parent and the approval of the District Administrator. The withdrawal of any student under the age of eighteen (18) must comply with the requirements for participation in a program leading to the child's high school graduation or leading to a high school equivalency diploma, consistent with State law.
