Background:
It is Milwaukee Public Schools' longstanding practice to be self-insured for liability under the Wisconsin Worker's Compensation Act. In order to maintain this self-insured status, Milwaukee Public Schools is required every three years to reapply and provide the Department of Workforce Development with a resolution, passed by its governing body and signed by its chief executive stating its intent and agreement to self-insure. Wisconsin Administrative Code 80.60(3) imposes this mandate upon all Wisconsin political subdivisions and taxing authorities.  
Fiscal Impact Statement:
This item does not authorize expenditures other than those already allocated to the worker's compensation budget.  
Implementation and Assessment Plan:
 
Recommendation
