Background:
|
On January 25, 2018, the Board approved the instrumentality charter school contract with New School for Youth Empowerment (NSYE). NSYE will be located at 1940 N. 36th St, Milwaukee, WI 53208.
NSYE is based on the premise that young people can and will become educated, active members of their communities by integrating their high school learning experiences with meaningful participation in social justice and economic activities which benefit the students and the community.
On March 5, 2018, the Administration received notification from representatives of NSYE requesting a delay in the start of the term of the contract to begin with the 2019-2020 school year and to end with the last day of the 2023-2024 school year. NSYE is committed to operating a successful educational program. The requested amendment would provide for additional time for planning, preparation, and solicitation of additional support needed for NSYE to realize desired outcomes.
The Administration recommends that the Board approve the amendment in the term of the instrumentality charter school contract with New School for Youth Empowerment from the start of the 2018-2019 school year to the end of the 2022-2023 school year to the start of the 2019-2020 school year to the end of the 2023-2024 school year.
