Background:
|
On May, June, July, and October 2020, as well as January and March 2021, the Administration shared plans associated with the reopening of school for the 2020-2021 school year with the Milwaukee Board of School Directors. Six workgroups (health and safety, academics, school operations, communications, professional development, and classroom and school wide supports) guided these plans and have since continued to further refine plans to best support the health and safety of our students, staff, and greater community. The work groups include teachers, school leaders, other staff, Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association (MTEA) representatives, Administrators and Supervisors Council (ASC), 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 requiring in-person learning at three school locations. At its March 23, 2021 Special Meeting, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors approved the Administration’s recommendation for returning to in-person learning and the following timeline for staff and students was implemented:
*On March 29, 2021 MPS central and school-based staff returned to in-person work.
* On April 12, 2021, students in Pre-K through grade 2 returned to in-person learning.
* On April 19, 2021, students in grades 3 through 8 returned to in-person learning.
* On April 26, 2021, students in grade 12 or high school students in need of support returned to in-person learning.
Based on extensive research and consideration by the Administration and six workgroups, the Administration is recommending return to in-person learning for the 2021-2022 school year with the following timeline for staff and students to begin full in-person learning:
*On August 9, 2021, all teachers on the Early Start Calendar return to their buildings.
*On August 16, 2021, all students on the Early Start Calendar begin full in-person learning for the 2021-2022 school year.
*On August 26, 2021, all teachers on the Traditional Start Calendar return to their buildings.
*On September 2, 2021, all students on the Traditional Start Calendar begin full in-person learning for the 2021-2022 school year.
