APPLETON, Wis. (WFRV) – At their board meeting on Wednesday evening, Appleton’s common council voted to reinstate a controversial truancy ordinance. This one isn’t even closeAlder Katie Van Zeeland made several changes to the original truancy ordinance presented at the meeting. At the committee level last week, Van Zeeland had voted against the previous version of the truancy ordinance. Other alders still weren’t convinced that this was the best thing for students and voted against approving the truancy ordinance. He said if the truancy ordinance had been around last year, only about 31 students would have been eligible for it.
