Background:
|
At its March 17, 2020, meeting, the Board adopted Resolution 1920R-016, which directed that climate justice curriculum and sustainability practices be integrated into all aspects of district work and functions.
In response to the Board's action, the Administration has provided regular quarterly reports 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.
In addition, in adopting Resolution 2223R-007 (July 2022), the Milwaukee Public Schools joined Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee in adopting international climate reduction targets. At its meeting of March 2023, the Board referred Resolution 2223R-019, by Director Peterson, on establishing a Green Revolving Fund, to the Committee on Accountability, Finance and Personnel. At its Board meeting of April 2023, the Board adopted Resolution 2223R-019 and Milwaukee Public Schools will establish a framework for a Green Revolving Fund and encourage sustainability efforts like other schools and universities are making across the nation.
The Administration is providing an update to the Board with status of the framework.
