Background:

At its November 17, 2022 meeting, the Board referred Resolution 2223R-012 by Directors Peterson and Leonard for Student Voter Education & Registration.
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes that student voter registration is an important element of preparation for adult life; and believes that all students should be registered to vote before they graduate from high school.
