File Attachment:
1. Resolution to Authorize the Renewal of the Board's Self Insurance Status.pdf
Background: It is Milwaukee Public Schools' longstanding practice to be self-insured for liability under the Wisconsin Worker's Compensation Act. In order to maintain this self-insured status, Milwaukee Public Schools is required every three years to reapply and provide the Department of Workforce Development with a resolution, passed by its governing body and signed by its chief executive stating its intent and agreement to self-insure. Wisconsin Administrative Code 80.60(3) imposes this mandate upon all Wisconsin political subdivisions and taxing authorities.
Fiscal Impact Statement: This item does not authorize expenditures other than those already allocated to the worker's compensation budget.
Implementation and Assessment Plan
Recommendation: Your Committee recommends that the Board adopt the resolution to authorize the renewal of the Board's self-insurance status at its regular meeting on October 31, 2024, as attached to this item.
