Background:
|
The Milwaukee Public Schools Department of Recreation and Community Services (Milwaukee Recreation) was established in 1911 to enrich the lives of Milwaukee's youth, teens, adults and seniors through recreational and educational opportunities. Throughout the years, the department has worked to establish itself as a leading provider of community recreation services. A team of 84 full-time staff, and more than 1,500 part-time employees hired annually as instructors, leaders, field attendants, umpires and referees, work to program more than 100 schools and community locations on an annual basis.
In 2017, the department began the ambitious process of preparing to achieve agency accreditation through the Commission for the Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA). CAPRA is the only national accreditation of park and recreation agencies and is a valuable measure of an agency’s overall quality of operation, management, and service to the community.
The department's desire to stay relevant and sound in its delivery of services, coupled with the CAPRA accreditation requirements has led to the development, and updating of a series of management plans. These include the Recreation Master Plan, Strategic Plan, ADA Transition Plan, Leadership Continuity Plan, and the Risk Management Plan. All but the Risk Management Plan were approved by Board action on August 27, 2020.
The recently developed Risk Management Plan outlines risk identification and assessment for Recreation Department operations, response strategies, and management planning. The plan was developed in partnership with Recreation Department and district staff along with external content experts.
