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.
On January 27, 2022, it was requested that if schools did not request a project or were denied a project, that they be granted up to $100,000 worth of school requested projects. In addition, the Administration is following through with schools that were below the $100,000 threshold and could apply for additional school requested projects up to $100,000. Once projects are approved, the district will move forward with contracted Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) teams assigned to ESSER III contracts to complete design and construction services.
