West Allis-West Milwaukee board affirms 2025-26 academic standards

Superintendent Dr. Robinson said the West Allis-West Milwaukee School Board approved the district—s academic standards for the 2025-26 school year at its July 14 meeting. The standards, the superintendent said, are unchanged from the previous year and were presented under a statutorily required agenda item.

Under Wisconsin Act 55, board materials must include an annual agenda item after July 1 identifying the academic standards that will be in effect for the coming school year, Superintendent Dr. Robinson told the board. Using those standards as a guide, district curriculum provides grade- and course-specific expectations, essential content, skills and common assessments, he said.

The board moved and seconded approval during the meeting; the motion passed after a voice vote. The superintendent told the board there are no substantive changes to the standards from the prior year.

Board members did not request amendments or additional review during the public meeting. The agenda packet presented to the board, Dr. Robinson said, contained the standards the district intends to implement for 2025-26, and staff will continue routine curriculum and instruction work tied to those standards.

The item was presented during the board—s action-items portion of the July 14 meeting; no public comment was taken for this item at the meeting and no additional fiscal or policy changes were announced at the time.
