At its meeting on February 27, 2020, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors referred Resolution 1920R-016 by Director Peterson to the Committee on Student Achievement and School Innovation (SASI). At its March 17, 2020, meeting, the Board adopted Resolution 1920R-016. In response to the Board's action, the Administration is providing its regular quarterly report relative to implementing the resolution. The Board's original action directed that a Climate Justice Curriculum Advisory Committee and a District Sustainability Team be established to carry out implementation of the resolution. The Office of Academics is leading the Climate Justice Curriculum Advisory Committee, and the Office of School Administration is leading the District Sustainability Team. To ensure alignment to the resolution and consistency, there is cross-representation between them.
The 6th annual Green & Healthy Schools Conference was hosted at Vincent High School in August; the event was well attended with over 500 registered participants. District Sustainability Team meetings resume in October following summer recess and green schoolyard construction season. The 2022 Cohort of green schoolyard redevelopments are complete and all five schools were celebrated at a ribbon cutting celebration in October.
The Climate Justice Curriculum Advisory Committee welcomed a new Climate Justice Instructional Coach on August 19th, 2022. The Climate Justice Instructional Coach has been collaborating with teachers, administrators, Green and Healthy School Cohorts, community partners, and is involved with multiple grant initiatives and community events pertaining to sustainability and climate justice. Climate Justice Curriculum Advisory Committee meetings will resume this fall.
