Background
:
On May 29, 2019, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors referred Resolution 1920R-005 by Directors Baez and Miller regarding anti-racism to the Committee on Student Achievement and School Innovation. The Administration is in agreement with the intent of the resolution and recognizes the critical importance of culturally responsive practices, within a system which is actively seeking to dismantle organizational practices that perpetuate racism. The Administration acknowledges the work that has already begun in these areas as well as the need for a sustained, integrated effort to promote culturally responsive/anti-biased practices at all levels of the district.
The Administration is suggesting minor adjustments related to the timeline for implementation, specific individuals/groups to be trained, and the inclusion of input from the community.
