Background:
|
On October 26, 2017, the Board approved the attached instrumentality charter school contract with New School for Youth Empowerment (NSYE), to begin with the 2018-19 school year and to end with the last regularly scheduled day of the 2022-23 school year.
NSYE is based on the premise that young people can and will become educated, active members of their communities by integrating their high-school learning experiences with meaningful participation in social justice and economic activities which benefit the students and the community.
NSYE’s representatives worked in collaboration with Milwaukee Public Schools Department of Facilities and Maintenance to determine a viable location for NSYE to begin with 2018-2019 school year. NSYE and MPS Department of Facilities and Maintenance agreed that the most viable location would be in the building located at 1940 N. 36th St, Milwaukee, WI 53208.
The Administration recommends that the Board approve the attached amended instrumentality charter school contract with New School for Youth Empowerment with the following modification:
a. the location of New School for Youth Empowerment shall be 1940 N. 36th St, Milwaukee, WI 53208.
|
|
Fiscal Impact Statement:
|
Administration has identified a facility that requires minimal cost of locating NSYE at this location.
|
|
Implementation and Assessment Plan
:
|
Upon approval and execution, a copy of the amended instrumentality charter school contract with New School for Youth Empowerment will be forwarded to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
NSYE will be located in the building where Transition High School currently operates.
