Resolution 005.pdf
Background: On June 25, 2020, Resolution 2021R-005 was introduced and referred to the Committee on Accountability, Finance and Personnel. At the July 30, 2020 meeting of the Milwaukee Board of School Directors, the Board discussed the resolution.

At the time of this discussion, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors directed the Administration to provide additional analysis relative to Central Region staffing.

Costs associated with implementing the first and second Further Resolved portions of the resolution are $1.9 million for 36 FTE substitute floaters to be assigned to specific Central Region Schools. It would be approximately $3.1 million to offer 74 FTE Central Region paraprofessionals 40-hour per week positions.

If this model were to be implemented across the Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) schools, the cost for substitute floaters would be $2.95 million. The cost of increasing paraprofessionals to 40 hours per week across the CSI schools would be $6.25 million.

It is important to note that funding was set aside through the referendum that can be used to focus on recruitment efforts. Additionally, the district will be able to provide extra staffing support through the newly hired Talent Management positions.
