Statement from the Milwaukee Board of School Directors

In the spirit of transparency, the board is providing this recap of tonight’s Special Meeting of the board.

Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
The board approved the CAP, which means DPI is in a position to release general funding to MPS on Monday, June 17, per standard schedule.

On behalf of the students, families, faculty and staff of MPS, the board thanks everyone involved with the work on the CAP.

FY2024-25 Proposed Budget
In the best interest of our students, families, faculty and staff, the board approved the proposed budget.

The proposed budget remains a work in progress and is subject to iteration until the final, adopted budget in October 2024, per the standard, annual finance schedule.

Passing the proposed budget ensures continuation of critical services, such as meal and mental health care programs for students throughout the summer. Additionally, it means teachers and staff will continue to receive payroll checks, and school leaders can plan for the next school year, among other important matters.

Interim Superintendent
Following the first two agenda items, the board moved into closed session for the personnel matter of beginning to select an interim superintendent. The closed session marked the start of a standard process involving discussion and evaluation of candidates.
