[Adopted 12-6-1990 by Ord. No. 90-12]
A. 
The Menominee Tribal Legislature has learned that Tribal Ordinance No. 81-29, as amended, Compulsory School Attendance, has been challenged in the Tribal Court and Tribal Supreme Court on the constitutionality of all of its provisions. This leaves the Menominee Nation, the Menominee Indian School District and the various enforcement agencies of the Reservation without any mechanism to control or enforce regular school attendance of school age children on the Menominee Indian Reservation.
B. 
The Menominee Tribal Legislature/Tribe has always placed the importance of an education for our school age children by requiring their regular attendance in elementary and secondary schools and places the age limit of 18 years of age for compulsory school attendance.
[Amended 10-3-2002[1]]

Stats., Compulsory school attendance, and any amendments or references to other provisions of the Wisconsin Statutes which may be adopted into law from time to time, attached hereto and incorporated herein, is enacted into Menominee law. Where the term "school attendance officer" appears in § 118.15, Wis. Stats., it shall be construed to include any police school liaison officer or any other duly authorized law enforcement person.
