Any person convicted of violating § 254-1A of this chapter which prohibits a person under age 18 years of age from being truant from school can be ordered by the court to attend school and can be ordered to pay a forfeiture of not more than $50 plus costs for a first violation, or a forfeiture of not more than $100 plus costs for any second or subsequent violation committed within 12 months of a previous violation, subject to § 938.37, Wis.

All or part of the forfeiture plus costs may be assessed against the violator, the parent/parents or guardian of the person, or both.
A person convicted of violating § 254-1B of this chapter which prohibits a person under age 18 years of age from being habitually truant from school can be subject to one or more of the following sanctions:
The violator's operating privileges can be suspended by the court for not less than 30 days nor more than one year. The court shall immediately take possession of any suspended license and forward it to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, together with a notice stating the reason for and the duration of the suspension.
The violator can be ordered to pay a forfeiture of not more than $500 plus costs, subject to § 938.37, Wis. Stats. All or part of the forfeiture plus costs may be assessed against the violator, the parent/parents or guardian of the violator, or both.
An order can be entered by the court for the Department of Workforce Development to revoke under § 103.72, Wis. Stats., a permit under § 103.70, Wis. Stats., authorizing employment of the violator.
An order can be entered by the court setting reasonable conditions consistent with this chapter, such as a curfew, restrictions as to going to or remaining on specified premises and restrictions on associating with other children or adults.

If a court finds that a child has violated § 254-1C of this chapter which prohibits any person under the age of 18 years from dropping out of school, the court can suspend the operating privilege of a person who is at least 16 years of age but less than 18 years of age and is a dropout.

Stats., until the violator reaches the age of 18 years would cause an undue hardship to the violator or the violator's family.

A court could also order the parent/parents or guardian to participate in counseling at the parent's/parents' or guardian's own expense or to attend school with the child/minor ward, or both. The court can also order the parent/parents or guardian to pay for the costs of his or her child or minor ward participating in counseling, a supervised work program, or other community service work.
