Background:
|
The Milwaukee Public Schools Head Start program is seeking approval for a partial match waiver for the 2020-2021 school year. At the time the FY20 application was submitted, MPS was to meet the 20% required match by salaries and benefits, as well as pupil transportation.
Due to COVID-19 pandemic, MPS pivoted to virtual learning in March 2020 until April 14, 2021, when school was approved to reopen to in-person learning. During this time, transportation was not utilized. The MPS Head Start program has 723 enrolled students; 431 students attended. Of that, approximately 53%, or 229, students utilized MPS bus transportation.
Therefore, MPS is requesting $1,106,743 in a cost-match waiver. |
