Background:
|
On June 27, 2019, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors approved the instrumentality charter school contract with Academia de Lenguaje y Bellas Artes (ALBA) to begin with the 2019-2020 school year and to end with the last regularly scheduled day of the 2023-2024 school year. ALBA’s mission is founded on the conviction that bilingual students can reach their full potential academically in English and Spanish when challenged through a rigorous curriculum that develops critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity through the integration of the fine arts. Administration received a request from ALBA to make an amendment to the contract. The requested amendment is being submitted as a technical revision and clarification to ensure compliance with the Charter School Grant offered through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The proposed amendment to the contract is contained in the redline contract attached to this item. |
