Background: In collaboration with eight community-based organizations, the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) serves as the Lead Education Agency (LEA) for the district’s forty (40) Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21CCLCs). These federally funded before/after-school programs are specifically designed to address the academic and social-emotional needs of students during out-of-school time.

The 21CCLCs operate with a focus on aligning their activities with the educational goals of the regular school day. As a recipient of 21CCLC funding, MPS has a responsibility to monitor and assess progress toward established objectives for program performance. Moreover, the LEA is obligated to produce and publish an annual evaluation that not only demonstrates advancements toward these objectives but also provides a summary of the efforts made to enhance the program.

During the 2022-2023 school year, MPS partnered with the Wisconsin Center for Education Research to complete the required annual evaluation. This presentation will present key findings from the evaluation of the MPS 21CCLC program for the 2020-2021 school year.
