Background:
|
On June 27, 2019, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors approved the instrumentality charter school contract with Academia de Lenguaje y Bellas Artes (ALBA) to begin with the 2019-2020 school year and to end with the last regularly scheduled day of the 2023-2024 school year. ALBA’s mission is founded on the conviction that bilingual students can reach their full potential academically in English and Spanish when challenged through a rigorous curriculum that develops critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity through the integration of the fine arts. ALBA’s students develop self-confidence and self-worth as their Hispanic cultural identity is both recognized and valued through the curriculum.
Administration received a request from ALBA to make amendments to their contract as well as amendments to Appendix A of their contract. The requested amendments are being submitted as technical revisions and clarifications to ensure compliance with the Charter School Grant offered through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The proposed amendments to the contract and Appendix A are contained in the redline contract and redline Appendix A that are attached to this item.
