Background: The Administration is requesting authorization to enter into a contract with Neu-Life Community Development, Inc., to provide a comprehensive summer learning program at Milwaukee High School of the Arts.

On April 20, 2017, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors approved the award of Summer Contracts for 21st Century Summer Community Learning Centers (CLCs). This approval authorized contracts with nine community-based organizations to provide comprehensive summer learning programs for 46 elementary, middle-, and high-school CLC sites. All CLC sites operating during the 2016-2017 school year were included in the summer CLC approval with the exception of Doerfler, Milwaukee High School of the Arts, and Maple Tree. These sites were unavailable due to construction projects.

Since the time of approval, the Department of Facilities and Maintenance Services has determined that the work at Milwaukee High School of the Arts this summer will not be completed and, therefore, the facility will be available for a CLC. Upon receiving this notification, the Department of Recreation and Community Services took steps to analyze the need for summer CLC programming in the immediate community that Milwaukee High School of the Arts serves. Subsequently, it was determined that, due to the lack of adequate services for high-school-aged students in the area, a contract for summer CLC programming would be extended to Neu-Life Community Development, Inc., Milwaukee High School of the Art’s community-based lead agency, to provide summer CLC programming.

The contract in the amount of $25,000 will support a six-week CLC program, from June 19, 2017, through July 28, 2017. The site will serve approximately 100 students over the course of the program.

Attached is the recommended contract with Neu-Life Community Development, Inc.
