(a) The school must document the following steps before law enforcement is contacted to issue a citation for truancy.

(1) Met with the school age child's parent, guardian or Custodian to discuss the school age child's truancy or have attempted to meet with the school age child's parent, guardian or Custodian and received no response or were refused.

(2) Provide an opportunity for educational counseling to the school age child to determine whether a change in the school age child's curriculum would resolve the school age child's truancy and to consider curriculum modification under Wis. Stat. Sec. 118.15 (1) (d).

(3) Evaluate the school age child to determine whether learning problems may be a cause of the school age child's truancy and, if so, take appropriate steps to overcome the learning problems, except that the school age child need not be evaluated if tests administered to the school age child within the previous year indicate that the school age child is performing at his or her grade level.

(4) Conduct a review to determine whether social problems may be the cause of the school age child's truancy and, if so, take appropriate action or make appropriate referrals.

(b) Once a citation is issued, the school age child, the child's parent and/or the child's guardian, and/or the child's Custodian shall be summoned in accordance with Tribal Court procedure. If summoned to Tribal Court, appearance is mandatory by both the school age child and the parent and/or Guardian and/or Custodian.
