Background:
|
At its January 2020 meeting, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors referred Communication 1920C-004 regarding a proposed art education policy to the Administration for follow-up.
Similar to the process utilized in the development of the MPS music policy, a committee was formed to discuss and explore the proposed art education policy. Membership of the committee included MPS art educators, MTEA, Board members, and the Offices of Academics, Accountability and Efficiency, Board Governance, Finance and School Administration. This allowed for a collaborative approach that included fiscal review and feedback from the Office of the City Attorney. The advisory committee collaborated in finalizing Administrative Policy 7.45: Art Education, which the Board adopted in May 2020.
The policy includes twice-yearly updates by the Administration relative to the progress in implementing the policy as well as next steps. As a result of the many impacts of the pandemic, it was difficult to complete a thorough report which included the input of teachers for the March Board cycle. Going forward, the regular cycle for sharing progress updates with the Board will be March and August of each year.
The attached presentation provides an overview of the progress and next steps related to implementation of Administrative Policy 7.45: Art Education
