Background:
|
Milwaukee College Prep (MCP), was established as a non-instrumentality charter school beginning in fall 2011. The schools are located at 1228 West Lloyd Street, 2623 North 38th Street, 2449 North 36th Street and 1350 West North Avenue.
MCP’s Mission is knowledge plus character pave the road to college and beyond. MCP has demonstrated the organizational leadership and expertise to operate and sustain high quality schools.
On July 12, 2021, the Charter School Review Team convened for a full day site visit at MCP. The Team examined the school’s performance and met with school representatives to discuss the data relative to the academic, financial and organizational performance.
On July 20, 2021, representatives from MCP, the MPS Office of Board Governance and the MPS Administration reviewed and negotiated the proposed modifications to the model non-instrumentality charter school contract and agreed to the attached redline contract.
Contingent upon the Board’s approval, M.C. Preparatory School of Wisconsin, Inc. accepts the attached, non-instrumentality charter contract as outlined.
Attached to this item is the performance data reviewed for renewal consideration, the Charter School Review Team’s Recommendation, the proposed redline contract and appendices outlined in the redline contract.
