Background:
|
In May, June, July, and October 2020, as well as January 2021, the Administration shared plans associated with the reopening of school for the 2020-2021 school year with the Milwaukee Board of School Directors. The six workgroups (health and safety, academics, school operations, communications, professional development, and classroom and school wide supports) have continued to further refine plans to best support the health and safety of our community. The work groups include teachers, school leaders, other staff, Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association (MTEA) representatives, students, parents, and community members.
In January 2021, the Board took action to begin in-person learning on February 8, 2021 for students with disabilities who require in-person learning at three school locations. In addition, the Administration was directed to provide an update related to the phased-in approach to in-person learning for all students in March 2021.
In alignment with the Board's January 2021 action, a presentation detailing the Administration's recommendation for moving to in-person learning with the following timeline is attached:
*On March 29, 2021 MPS central and school-based staff will return to in-person work.
* On April 12, 2021, students in Pre-K through grade 2 will return to in-person learning.
* On April 19, 2021, students in grade 3 through 8 will return to in-person learning.
* On April 26, 2021, students in grades 9 through 12 will return to in-person learning.
