Background:
The Administration is seeking position authority for two positions to support the Smart Spaces Grant awarded to Milwaukee Public Schools – Analyst I, On-line Programs and Specialist I, Gifted & Talented (GT) Curriculum. Together these positions will work to develop additional programs for GT youth as well as a variety of delivery options.

The positions are currently housed at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, and upon approval of position authority, they will transition to MPS. Based on the skills required and similar positions within MPS, the recommended salary ranges are:

• Analyst I, On-line Programs 05A $51,825 – 75,102
• Specialist I, Gifted & Talented Curriculum 08A $64,108 – 92,962
 
Fiscal Impact Statement:
Funding to support the positions will come out of the Smart Spaces Grant's approved budget. The term of the grant is from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2022.

Upon termination of the grant, the position may be eliminated or repurposed based on program continuation, subject to board approval.
 
Implementation and Assessment Plan:
Upon approval by the Board, the Administration will move forward with the hiring process for these positions.
