Background:
|
At its meeting on May 30, 2019, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors referred Resolution 1920R-002 by Director Phillips and Baez to the Committee on Accountability, Finance and Personnel. This was followed by public testimony at the Committee's meeting on August 20, 2019. Additional information was presented at the Committee's meeting on September 17, 2019, as part of the Department of Nutrition Services' quarterly report.
The Administration is in agreement with the resolution and is recommending its adoption by the Board with the minor adjustments to better align with Milwaukee Public School's progress and accomplishments in the area of nutrition services.
The resolution is closely aligned to the Administration's current work underway, such as recognizing the goal of 70% breakfast participation for schools with a Free and Reduced Application Management (FRAM) exceeding 70%, which the district achieved in 2018-19 for MPS schools (excluding non-instrumentality charter and partnership schools).
Even with having achieved the overall breakfast participation goal of 70% for MPS schools, the Administration continues to revise and expand its breakfast after the bell options, with the goal of ensuring all students have access to breakfast. In addition, the Department of Nutrition Services continues to expand communications. This includes training for kitchen staff as well as principals and teachers on expanded breakfast options. This also includes working with principals to share information with families. The district also has established a breakfast hotline.
