Background:
|
At its meeting on August 29, 2019, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors referred Communication 1920C-001 regarding a proposed music education policy drafted by MPS music educators and the Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association (MTEA) to the Administration for follow-up.
At its meeting on September 26, 2019, the Board directed the Administration to convene an advisory committee made up of members of the MPS Administration, the Office of Board Governance, the Office of Accountability and Efficiency, MPS music teachers, the Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association, music providers such as the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, and two representatives of the Milwaukee Board of School Directors.
The advisory committee collaborated in finalizing Administrative Policy 7.44: Music Education, which the Board adopted in November 2019. The policy includes twice-yearly updates by the Administration relative to the progress in implementing the policy as well as next steps. As a result of the many impacts of the pandemic, it was difficult to complete a thorough report which included the input of teachers for the March Board cycle. Going forward, the regular cycle for sharing progress updates with the Board will be March and August of each year.
The attached presentation provides an overview of the progress and next steps related to implementation of Administrative Policy 7.44: Music Education |
