Background: At its August 2017 meeting, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors approved revisions to Administrative Policy 9.11, School Engagement Councils, and creation of related Administrative Procedure 9.11. This action resulted in a new name - School Engagement Councils - for what previously had been known as School Governance Councils. As a result, various administrative policies and procedures (as attached) require technical amendments to replace instances of “School Governance Council” with the new title, “School Engagement Council.”

In some cases, other minor, non-substantive adjustments have been made, such as updating of outdated information and office, department, division, and position titles.

It is important to note that some of the policies and procedures attached require additional, more substantive revision. In those cases, that work is underway and will be coming back to the Board for referral for consideration at a future meeting of the Board’s Committee on Legislation, Rules and Policies.
Fiscal Impact Statement: This item does not authorize expenditures.
Implementation and Assessment Plan Upon approval by the Board, the adjustments to the identified policies and procedures will be made.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the Board approve the technical amendments to the following Administrative Policies and Procedures, as detailed in the attachments:

Administrative Policy 1.03, Parent Empowerment
Policy 4.07, Student Nutrition and Wellness
Procedure 6.23(3), Filling Principal Vacancies
Procedure 6.24 (4), Filling Assistant Principal Vacancies
Procedure 8.20, Uniforms and Student Dress Code
Procedure 9.12, Charter School Petitions and Proposals
