Background: On October 14, 2021, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors approved the budget for the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER III). As part of the approved budget, approximately $65M was appropriated for potential school addition and/or renovation projects. At the October board meeting, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors requested a report on the selection process.

A project submission application was distributed to all school leaders on November 3, 2021, with a return date of November 12, 2021, requested. The district team received over 700 project requests from the schools. The team went through every submission application and compiled a list of potential project requests from the data.

The construction costs are preliminary and need further vetting by a consultant through site investigations. The costs were provided to assist with deciding if the projects are feasible and can be pursued. Once projects are approved, the district will create a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit design and construction services.
