Background:
|
Milwaukee Public Schools is dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming school and district climate for all students. In 2017, the district voluntarily entered into a resolution agreement with the Office for Civil Rights after an initial report found disparities in discipline practices dating back to 2014-2015. In reaching this agreement, the district seeks to improve current disciplinary practices. As a result of this work, staff members are gaining the mindset and skill sets to better support all students throughout the district. Staff members are taking the time to reflect on their classroom practices through the lens of race. Students are receiving more support and intervention in the classroom from their teachers and opportunity to reflect on their behavior prior to being removed from the educational setting for behavioral concerns. Students are being identified early for intervention and support before behaviors escalate.
Attached is a summary of some of the steps which we have made to continue making progress in the identified areas.
