Background:
|
At its meeting on April 19, 2018, the Board adopted Resolution 1718R-017 by Director Woodward to rename an MPS school in recognition of Grant Gordon, a former MPS administrator, for his many contributions to the education of students in the Milwaukee Public Schools system.
Renaming the Lee Learning Center to the Grant Gordon Learning Center is in alignment with the criteria set forth in Administrative Policy 5.01(6)(a), Facilities, which states that the person after which a school is named "shall have made an outstanding contribution to the public welfare." Mr. Grant Gordon made numerous contributions to the field of education during his career with Milwaukee Public Schools and positively impacted the lives of many students and their families.
A letter reflecting the school community's support of the renaming of the Lee Learning Center to the Grant Gordon Learning Center is included with this item.
