Background:
|
In May, June, July, and October 2020, the Administration shared preliminary and updated plans associated with the reopening of school for the 2020-2021 school year with the Milwaukee Board of School Directors. Due to the fluid nature and the need for flexibility during the pandemic, the plans have continued to be further refined to best support the health and safety of our community. In alignment with the Board's action in October 2020, an updated version of the Roadmap to Readiness is attached.
Early on in the process, the Administration convened work groups to address different areas of consideration for school reopening: health and safety, academics, school operations, communications, professional development, and classroom and schoolwide supports. The work groups include teachers, school leaders, other staff, MTEA representatives, students, parents, and community members. The groups continue to meet to plan for school reopening.
The Administration continues to take into account the feedback from the work groups, parents, students, and staff while reviewing and considering guidance from various entities including the Council of the Great City Schools; other school districts; and, local and state guidance.
At the October meeting of the Milwaukee Board of School Directors, the Board directed the Administration to provide an update on the planning process in November and December of 2020, as well as in January 2021.
The attached Roadmap to Readiness Update provides updated information for moving to in-person learning.
The Administration's recommendation is that:
* Students with disabilities who require in-person learning in addition to virtual learning, will begin in-person learning on February 8, 2021 at three school locations.
* During the March Board cycle, Administration will provide an update related to a phased-in approach to in-person learning for all students.
* On April 12, 2021, students in Pre-K through grade 2 will begin in-person learning.
* On April 19, 2021, students in grade 3 through 8 will begin in-person learning.
* On April 26, 2021, students in grades 9 through 12 will begin in-person learning.
