Background:
|
At its January 2020 meeting, the Board referred Communication 1920C-004 from Art Action Milwaukee regarding a proposed art education policy to the Administrataion for follow up.
Similar to the process utilized in the development of the MPS music policy, the Administration is recommending formation of a committee to discuss and explore the proposed art education policy. Membership of the committee will include MPS art educators, MTEA, Board members, and the Offices of Academics, Accountability and Efficiency, Board Governance, Finance, and School Administration.
This will allow a collaborative approach that includes a fiscal analysis and feedback from the Office of the City Attorney before a proposal is brought before the Board for consideration. It will also allow discussion to take place relative to alignment with other areas such as music and physical education, as well as how and when a proposed policy may be phased in.

Your Committee recommends that the Board direct the Administration to form a collaborative committee to explore a proposed policy and consider combining the proposed Arts policy with existing policies for greater efficiency and consistency and that the proposed policy include a fiscal analysis and a Financial Impact Statement that includes a phase-in plan over four or five years; and that the proposed policy be submitted to the Board through the next Legislation, Rules and Policies (LRP) committee meeting.
