Forgery
Forgery involves a false document, signature, or other imitation of a document used with the intent to deceive another. For example, forging another person’s signature on a document misrepresents the identity of the person who signed the document, which has significant legal consequences. Forgery is a serious offense, punishable as a felony in all fifty states and by the federal government.
Falsifying information on any work experience document may result in being dropped from the class with a grade of “F” and potential further punishable action by the employer. A meeting with administration, school resource officer, work experience teacher, counselor, student, and parent will be scheduled to discuss the consequences and next steps.
Attendance
In accordance with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, student learners may be allowed to work during school hours if the student is enrolled in a work-based learning program.
Good attendance is extremely important in school and for future career success. Start good habits now by being in your scheduled classes on time and every day. Excessive unexcused absences from school may result in the temporary loss of your early release privileges, which may impact your work availability.
Suspension or Expulsion
Work Experience is a school program, so a suspension from school will impact your work availability. State Child Labors Laws prohibit work during times that minors are required to be in school, except for students participating in work experience and career exploration programs operated by the school.
