Section 121.85(3) of the Wisconsin Statutes allows the Board to enter into annual written inter-district transfer agreements with school districts for the purpose of reducing racial imbalance.
The Administration is requesting authorization to enter into contracts with 20 suburban districts, specified in the attachments, to provide funding for transportation services for students participating in the Inter-District Transfer Program (Chapter 220).
For the 2020-2021 school year, seven (7) of the 20 participating school districts will arrange their own transportation: Fox-Point-Bayside, Elmbrook, Germantown, Maple Dale-Indian Hill, Menomonee Falls, Mequon-Thiensville, and Nicolet. Reimbursement for transportation services will be funded by Milwaukee Public Schools.
For the 2020-2021 school year, Milwaukee Public Schools will arrange transportation services for 13 of the 20 participating school districts: Cudahy, Franklin, Greendale, Greenfield, Hamilton/Sussex, New Berlin, Oak Creek/Franklin, Saint Francis, Shorewood, Wauwatosa, West Allis/West Milwaukee, Whitefish Bay, and Whitnall.
