Background:
|
On April 25, 2017, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors received copies of the Superintendent’s proposed FY2018 district budget. On April 26, 2017, the Superintendent’s proposed FY2018 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 FY2018 budget from the Administration at its meeting on May 4, 2017. Your Committee accepted public testimony on the proposed budget at this meeting.
Your Committee also reports having given public hearing on the Superintendent’s proposed FY2018 budget at its meeting on May 16, 2015.
In addition to your Committee’s meetings, the Board is scheduled to give final public hearing, pursuant to the provisions of Section 119.16(8)(a), Wisconsin Statutes, on the proposed Fiscal Year 2018 School Operations, Construction, and Extension Fund budgets at a meeting scheduled for May 23, 2017.
At its meeting on May 16, your Committee conducted a work session and took action on the following two proposed amendments to the Superintendent's proposed FY2018 budget (see attachments #1 and #2 to this item):
• Budget Amendment #1, by Director Baez, to align budget priorities and operations to the district’s commitment to equity through increasing accountability of the Office of Bilingual and Multicultural Education; and
• Budget Amendment #2, by Director Woodward, to delay the implementation of the uniform policy to the 2018-19 school year and to redirect any funds allocated for the implementation of the uniform policy in the 2017-18 school year toward raises for the lowest paid employees.
Prior to the Board’s regular meeting of May 2017, a second round of proposed budget amendments, which are to be developed subsequent to the formulation of your Committee’s report, may be submitted directly to the Board without recommendation for its consideration and action.

Your Committee recommends that:

2. Amendment #2 by Director Woodward be placed on file; and
3. the Board determine what action it wishes to take regarding the the following second round of proposed amendments to the Superintendent's proposed FY2018 budget, which were developed subsequent to the formulation of the Committee’s report and are, therefore, being submitted directly to the Board without recommendation:
