Background: At its June 24, 2021 meeting, the Board adopted Resolution 2122R-005, regarding establishment of a community schools work group charged with creating an MPS community schools policy. The work group met regularly since August 2021, and was composed of representatives of the Administration, United Way, the MTEA, and community schools coordinators. At its December 16, 2021 meeting, the Board referred the establishment of Administrative Policy 9.14: Community Schools to the Committee on Legislation, Rules, and Policy's. Since that time, further enhancements have been collaboratively made to further capture all voices and strengthen the proposed policy. The updated version is reflected in the third attachment to this item. In alignment with the Board's action, the work group developed Administrative Policy 9.14: Community Schools as reflected in the second attachment to this item.

The work group included an advisory committee, as well as sub-committees that were charged with crafting the proposed community schools policy based on themes identified from the data analyzed from the work group and the work group discussions.

The proposed administrative policy is aligned to the Milwaukee Community School key practices:

1. Cultural Relevance
2. Equity
3. Shared Leadership
Fiscal Impact Statement: This item does not authorize expenditures.
Implementation and Assessment Plan Upon the Board's approval, the Office of Board Governance will publish Administrative Policy 9:14:Community Schools.
