Wisconsin pupil records (Wis. Stat. §118.125)

Wisconsin's state statute governing the confidentiality of pupil records, sitting alongside FERPA for Wisconsin districts. Citation: Wis. Stat. §118.125, published by the Wisconsin Legislature at docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/118/125.

Status: fact documents pending

No statute text is reproduced here yet. The Wisconsin Legislature's document server refused connections from our network at last check (re-tested 2026-09-05, connection refused — suspected non-US geo-blocking), and per METHODOLOGY.md no text is included that has not been verified against the definitive source. The link above works from US networks and in ordinary browsers.

To complete: fetch §118.125 from a US network (or save the page manually), extract the definitions ("pupil records", "behavioral records"), the confidentiality rule and its exceptions, and verify mechanically per the methodology.

Applicability to EdTech

Wisconsin is a pilot-district state (Sheboygan Area School District). Districts there operate under this statute in addition to FERPA when sharing pupil records with vendors.
