Background:
|
|
At the February 24, 2022 meeting, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors referred Resolution 2122R-015 by Director Carr to the Committee on Student Achievement and School Innovation. The attached resolution directs the Administration to explore the feasibility of implementing a four-day school week, with a fifth day devoted to “teacher professional development, student mental health services, extended learning opportunities, and intentional and effective school community, and employer partnerships.” |

|
Fiscal Impact Statement:
|
|
The financial impact of a feasibility study this size will be known once the procurement process is completed and a provider is selected. |
|
|
|
Implementation and Assessment Plan: |
|
Upon approval of the board it is estimated that the implementation of a feasibility study for a four-day school week may take up to six months from start to finish, including forming a Four-day School-week Strategic Planning Committee, contracting for services of a consultant, collaboration, listening sessions, data collection, analysis and report. Upon completion of the feasibility study, the results will be reviewed and the findings will be shared with the Board. |
|
|
|
Recommendation
|
|
The Administration recommends that the Board approve a feasibility study be conducted as detailed in the resolution 2122R-015 using the services of an outside consultant and bringing a report back to the committee by the October Board cycle (Resolution 2122R-015 Administration Recommendation). |
