Background: On November 16, 2023, the Board approved the submission of Resolution 2324R-004 to the Policy and Resolutions Committee of the Wisconsin Association of School Boards.

The Milwaukee Public Schools’ Board of School Directors is the one and only member of Region 14 of the Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB).

The Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB) has designated a process to submit 2024 resolution proposals to be considered by the WASB Policy and Resolutions Committee.

The Office of Board Governance has been advised by WASB that, because this resolution was submitted after the September 15 deadline (and was, therefore, not vetted by the WASB Policy & Resolutions Committee), a different process must be followed for the resolution to be considered by the delegate assembly. As such, WASB has recommended that the intent of the resolution be reworded a more concise manner.
Fiscal Impact Statement: There is no fiscal impact.
Implementation and Assessment Plan The Office of Governance will advise WASB as to how the Board wishes to proceed.
Recommendation: The Office of Board Governance recommends that the Board:
1. Rescind its action of November 16, 2023, relative to Resolution 2324R-004; and
2. Determine how it wishes to proceed relative to the submission of the resolution
