Background:
|
In May, June, July, and October 2020, as well as January and March 2021, the Administration shared plans associated with the reopening of school for the 2020-2021 school year with the Milwaukee Board of School Directors. In June 2021, the Administration shared plans associated with the reopening of school for the 2021-2022 school year. Through this extensive time period, six work groups (health and safety, academics, school operations, communications, professional development, and classroom and school wide supports) guided these plans and have since continued to further refine plans to best support the health and safety of our students, staff, and greater community. The work groups include teachers, school leaders, other staff, Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association (MTEA) representatives, Administrators and Supervisors Council (ASC), students, parents, and community members.
In January 2021, the Board took action to begin in-person learning on February 8, 2021 for students with disabilities requiring in-person learning at three school locations. At its March 23, 2021 Special Meeting, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors approved the Administration’s recommendation for returning to in-person learning and the following timeline for staff and students was implemented:
*On March 29, 2021 MPS central and school-based staff returned to in-person work.
* On April 12, 2021, students in Pre-K through grade 2 returned to in-person learning.
* On April 19, 2021, students in grades 3 through 8 returned to in-person learning.
* On April 26, 2021, students in grade 12 or high school students in need of support returned to in-person learning.
The Board took action at its June 1, 2021 meeting to return to in-person learning for the 2021-2022 school year as detailed in the attached presentation. The Board’s action was memorialized in the attached motion, which directs the Administration to proceed with planning and implementation for a full in-person, face-to-face, five-days a week return to school for students for both August 2021 and September 2021 start dates in alignment with nine parameters. The Administration will share an overview of the attached Roadmap to Readiness Report and Update as aligned to the Board's June 1, 2021 action.
