We seem to have different definitions of "truancy." It means "absent without permission," so, by definition, I would say the answer to your question is "zero." The first unexcused absence is a truancy. Wisconsin law seems to agree with me, defining a "truant" as a student who misses all or part of a school day without an acceptable excuse.
Wisconsin law does have a special term for students who are absent without excuse for all or part of five school days during a semester: "habitual truant."
Wisconsin allows a parent to excuse a child from school for basically any reason provided that advance notice of this is provided to the school. However, such excused absences are limited to ten days per school year. That might be what you're thinking of.
(Note that this does not necessarily include days missed due to bona fide illness as determined by a physician, the ten day limit is for "I'm taking Junior out of school to visit Disneyland" type things.)
