Background:
In August 2017, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors adopted Resolution 1617R-006 to develop an equity policy. As follow up to the Board's action, Administrative Policy and Procedure 1.06, Equity in MPS, were adopted by the Board on August 31, 2017. The Administration has worked with numerous stakeholders to provide a guidebook to accompany Administrative Policy & Procedure 1.06, Equity in MPS.

The draft guidebook that is attached was a collaborative effort that included stakeholders across all MPS offices and departments. This collective guidance is intended to create more equitable support for traditionally marginalized students, families, and communities. The guidebook is meant to be adaptable in nature to accommodate issues of equity.
