Background:
On March 28, 2019, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors approved the instrumentality charter school contract with Green Tree Preparatory Academy (GPA) to begin with the 2019-2020 school year and to end with the last regularly scheduled day of the 2023-2024 school year. GPA’s mission is to build a body of student leaders who will lead or own tomorrow’s businesses. GPA’s vision is to provide a safe, nurturing, and professional community of learning where students are educated, empowered, and enabled to develop the essential skills necessary to lead and to exceed.

Administration received a request from GPA to make amendments to the Appendix A to their contract. The requested amendments are being submitted as technical revisions and clarifications to ensure compliance with the Charter School Grant offered through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The proposed amendments to Appendix A are contained in the redline Appendix A and are attached to this item along with a redline contract reflecting the amendments to Appendix A.
