Background: Each year, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors approves a budget, as developed and recommended by its Administration.

The Committee on Strategic Planning and Budget has traditionally held two meetings for Board members to consider the proposed budget as well as budget amendments submitted by Board members. Public testimony is accepted at these meetings to offer an opportunity for the public to provide input on the proposed budget and any amendments to the proposed budget that members of the Board may submit.

Additionally, before adopting its budget, the Board holds a public hearing on the proposed school budget, as mandated by Wisconsin Statutes, the purpose of which is strictly for public input.

The current budget process allows Board members to submit additional proposed amendments to the proposed budget at the meeting at which the Board adopts the preliminary budget. Traditionally, no public comment is taken at this meeting.
