Background:

At its meeting on August 29, 2019, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors referred Communication 1920C-001 regarding a proposed music education policy drafted by MPS music educators and the Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association (MTEA) to the Administration for follow-up.
At its meeting on September 26, 2019, the Board directed the Administration to convene an advisory committee made up of members of the MPS Administration, the Office of Board Governance, the Office of Accountability and Efficiency, MPS music teachers, the Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association, music providers such as the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, and two representatives of the Milwaukee Board of School Directors.
The advisory committee met on October 4 and October 11, 2019. The objectives of the collaborative meetings included discussing and implementing edits to the proposed policy as suggested by the Office of the City Attorney, reviewing the five-year implementation plan, fiscal impacts, and next steps.
The advisory committee has completed the proposed music education policy for the Board's consideration.
