Communication 1920C-001 - Proposed Music Education Policy & Procedure
Handout by Director Miller

File Attachment:

|
Background:
|
At its meeting on August 29, 2019, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors referred Communication 1920C-001 (attached) regarding a proposed music education policy and procedure drafted by MPS music educators and the Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association (MTEA) to the Administration for follow-up.
At this time, a review of the fiscal impact of implementing the proposed policy and procedure as submitted by the MTEA and the MPS music educators in the attached communication is underway. Collaborative efforts among the Offices of Academics, Finance, School Administration and MPS music educators and the MTEA have included discussions on fiscal impact and a multi-year phase-in implementation plan.
A possible next step might include the Administration, MTEA, and MPS music educators making any necessary revisions before the Administration sends the agreed-upon final draft of the proposed policy and procedure to the Office of the City Attorney and the Office of Board Governance for final review. Upon completion of the review, additional revisions may be necessary.
