Background:
|
On June 25, 2020, Resolution 2021R-005 was introduced and referred to the Committee on Accountability, Finance and Personnel. The Resolved portion of the resolution reads as follows:
RESOLVED, That the MPS Office of Human Resources is hereby directed to give priority in filling vacancies to the schools in the Central Region; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That substitute teachers shall be assigned as “floaters” at specific schools in the Central Region — i.e., they shall be required to work at their assigned schools for a specified period of time to ensure that there are sufficient adults in each school to provide the required supervision; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the current paraprofessionals assigned to schools in the Central Region shall be offered 40-hour-per-week positions, which will allow them to be in the school buildings for more hours in order to reduce the student-to-adult ratios; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That Central Office staff be assigned specifically to assist in Central Region schools on a day-to-day basis; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That Central Region schools shall be given priority in developing partnerships which will ensure that these schools will have additional adults to support them; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That MPS shall give priority to filling vacancies in the Central Region and to providing extra staffing support to the specialist that works with the Central Region, including diverting Central Services staff from other responsibilities as needed to support this work; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That MPS shall offer develop incentives for teachers who select and commit to three-year assignments in the Central Region; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That MPS shall strive to ensure that 80% of the incentivized positions in the Central Region will be filled by teachers of color; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That a portion of the funding allocated to strengthen MPSU (Milwaukee Public Schools University) shall be used to support paraprofessionals who are serving in the Central Region in getting certified as teachers; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Administration shall present its analysis of, and recommendations regarding, this Resolution at the Milwaukee Board of School Directors’ regular meeting of July 2020.
