Background:
|
In January 2018, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors adopted the early start and traditional district calendars for the 2018-19 school year.
Since that time, it was determined that City of Milwaukee election dates currently fall on student attendance days. While this is not uncommon, district calendars with non-student attendance days that coincide with City of Milwaukee election dates would promote civic engagement amongst students as they would be able to participate in the voting process with their families.
The proposed changes to accomplish this objective are indicated on the attachments. The proposed changes were facilitated by exchanging professional development/record days with student attendance days.
