Background:
District policies, as established by Milwaukee Board of School Directors, provide overall direction for the Milwaukee Public Schools. The polices address the Board's goals and governance structure and provide guidelines as to how district operations will be administered.

The creation of district policies is a mutual effort between the Board and its executive officers (as defined in Board Governance Policy 3.01); however, only the Board may adopt new policies and revise or repeal existing ones. To that end, it is prudent for the Board to be advised of the extent to which policies are properly implemented and the level of their effectiveness.

The proposed revisions add a requirement for new policies to include a monitoring and evaluation function. The policy already requires a five-year review of existing policies, during which the monitoring and evaluation function will be added as a revision.
