Background:
|
There have been many impacts to Milwaukee Public Schools as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially relative to the closure of Milwaukee Public Schools.
In May and June 2020, the Administration shared preliminary plans for the reopening of school for the 2020-2021 school year with the Milwaukee Board of School Directors. As the plans were further refined, and as a result of the discussion that took place at the June 25, 2020 Board meeting, President Miller called for a Special July Board meeting to finalize the MPS School Reopening Plan.
The process included extensive outreach inviting parents, students, and staff to share their ideas and feedback via a survey and work group sessions. The outreach included a variety of avenues including social media, distribution of paper copy surveys at Stop, Grab & Go sites, mailing to homes, family and district newsletters, emails, local news, and through the district website.
The Administration convened work groups to address different areas of consideration for school reopening: health and safety, academics, school operations, communications, professional development, and classroom and schoolwide supports. The work groups included teachers, school leaders, other staff, MTEA representatives, students, parents, and community members. The groups met to plan for school reopening.
The Administration has taken into account the feedback from the work groups, parents, students, and staff while reviewing and considering guidance from various entities including the Council of the Great City Schools; other school districts; and, local and state guidance. |
