Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Civil
Education — mascot names — standing
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) appeals the order granting summary judgment to James Schoolcraft and Craig Vertz in their collateral challenge to the application of Wis. Stat. § 118.134 (2009-10) to the Mukwonago Area School District (the District). The circuit court reasoned that the contested case hearing between the District and a District resident was not impartially decided, and thus the District was denied due process. We reverse because Schoolcraft and Vertz have no standing to bring a due-process challenge to a procedure they were not a part of. This opinion will not be published.
