Background:
|
On April 29, 2020, members of the Milwaukee Board of School Directors received copies of the Superintendent’s proposed FY2021 district budget. On April 30, 2020, the Superintendent’s proposed FY2021 district budget was posted on the MPS Portal for the general public to view.
Your Committee reports having received an overview of the Superintendent's proposed FY2021 budget from the Administration at its meeting on May 7, 2020. Your Committee accepted public testimony on the proposed budget at this meeting.
In addition to your Committee’s meetings, the Board held a public hearing, pursuant to the provisions of Section 119.16(8)(a), Wisconsin Statutes, on the proposed Fiscal Year 2021 School Operations, Construction, and Extension Funds on May 19, 2020.
Your Committee also reports having given public hearing on the Superintendent’s proposed FY2021 budget at its meeting on May 21, 2020. At that same meeting, your Committee conducted a work session and took action on the following proposed amendments to the Superintendent's proposed FY2020 budget:
• Amendment 02, by Director Taylor, to implement an ethnic studies program in each high school and in each grade level at the African-American Immersion middle school (Douglas). Your Committee recommends approving this amendment, with the funding to come from realized transportation savings.
• Amendment 03, by Director Taylor, to establish parent coordinators as full-time positions. Your Committee has forwarded this amendment to the Board without recommendation.
• Amendment 04, by Director Taylor, to assign three forty-hour-per-week paraprofessionals at each school. Your Committee has forwarded this amendment to the Board without recommendation.
• Amendment 06, by Director Woodard, to establish an MPS
minimum wage of $15/hour and fully implement the Road to $15. Your Committee has forwarded this amendment to the Board without recommendation.
A second round of proposed budget amendments, which were under development at the time of your Committee’s meeting, have been attached without recommendation for the Board’s consideration and action.
