Background:
|
It is Milwaukee Public Schools’ long-standing 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.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Superintendent that the Board adopt the attached resolution at its regular meeting on March 29, 2012. |
