Background:
|
At its November 17, 2022 meeting, the Board referred Resolution 2223R-012 by Directors Peterson and Leonard for Student Voter Education & Registration.
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes that student voter registration is an important element of preparation for adult life; and believes that all students should be registered to vote before they graduate from high school.
In accordance with state law and the Wisconsin Standard for Social Studies, Administration is being asked to develop a specific plan and timeline to increase voter registration among eligible MPS high school students.
The plan and timeline will be developed collaboratively, with the appropriate MPS departments and community organization such as but not be limited to, the League of Women Voters, Souls to the Polls, Administrators and Supervisors Council, the Milwaukee Teachers’ Education Association. |
