GNC.5.3.030 Dropouts

(a) If the Tribal Court determines that a person is a dropout, the court may:

(1) Notification of the drop-out to any jurisdiction or agency issuing licensing of any nature to the person, including but not limited to, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. The Tribal Court may present to the licensing agency, a recommendation of a suspension of privileges licensed, including the case of any license to operate a motor vehicle, or obtain a license to so operate, the suspension of privileges granted by Wisconsin Statue §§ 343.05(2)(a)(2) or (4)(b)(1) or comparable provisions in any other jurisdiction.

(2) The Court may order for the person to attend school.

(3) Order a forfeiture of not more than $500 plus costs, to be assessed against the drop-out, the parents or guardians, or both.

(4) Refer the case of the habitually truant person who continues to be truant to the Sawyer County District Attorney for delinquency charges pursuant to Wis. Stat. §938.12. Filing information on a person does not preclude concurrent prosecution of the person's parent or guardian for failure to cause a person to attend school.

(5) Refer the person to the LCO Indian Child Welfare department to evaluate and determine whether familial problems may be the cause of the person's truancy and if so, make appropriate referrals as necessary.

(6) Any other reasonable conditions consistent with this ordinance, including a curfew, restrictions as to going to or remaining on specified premises and restrictions for associating with other juveniles and adults.
