Shelia Stubbs, Wisconsin State Representative for 78th District | Facebook
According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "requiring school districts to report information related to American Indian children attending school in the school district".
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill requires school districts in Wisconsin to include specific information about American Indian children in their annual reports to the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), starting with the 2026-27 school year. The report must detail the numbers, ages, and tribal affiliations of American Indian students attending school within the district. This requirement aligns with the existing mandate for the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to conduct biennial assessments of American Indian language and culture education needs, which already include similar data. The new requirement aims to better inform the state's educational policy regarding American Indian students by ensuring comprehensive and consistent data collection across all school districts.
Shelia Stubbs has co-authored or authored another 27 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with none of them being enacted.
Stubbs graduated from Tougaloo College with a BA and again from Mount Senario College with a BS.
Stubbs, a Democrat, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2025 to represent the state's 78th Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Lisa Subeck.
In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
