SB 10 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: access to public high schools for military recruiters.

SB 10 requires Wisconsin public high school boards to allow military recruiters access to common areas (like hallways or cafeterias) during school visits and during school days or school-sanctioned events. It does not require access to classrooms during instructional time. The bill implements federal law (10 USC 503(c)) by mandating this access for all public high schools, directly affecting school boards and military recruiters. The law applies starting with the 2025-26 school year.
