MPS legislation committee holds five instructional policies, approves remainder of Section 2000
Summary
The Milwaukee School District Committee on Legislation, Rules and Policies voted to hold five policies for further committee review and approved the rest of Section 2000 (Programs and Instruction) at a meeting held at the Central Services Building; the votes were 4-0 with one director excused.
The Committee on Legislation, Rules and Policies of the Milwaukee School District Board of School Directors met at the Central Services Building (date not specified) and voted to hold five policies in committee while approving the remainder of policies in Section 2000, which covers programs and instruction.
The committee moved to hold policies 2105, 2110, 2409, 2461 and 2416 for separate consideration rather than discussing them at the meeting. Director Zomber moved that “all items set aside will be held in committee.” The motion carried on a voice roll call with Directors Herndon, Jackson and Benoist voting aye and Chair Zomber recording an aye; Director O'Halloran was excused.
The committee then considered the remaining Section 2000 policies. On a motion to approve the balance of the policies in Section 2000, moved by Director Venoy, the committee voted 4-0 in favor with Directors Herndon, Jackson and Venoy and Chair Zomber voting aye; Director O'Halloran remained excused. The committee chair announced that the motion passes and there were no further items on the evening's agenda.
The Office of Board Governance opened the work session by presenting the Neola policy review for the district's Section 2000 policies. Committee members used the meeting to identify specific policy numbers they wanted to withhold for further discussion rather than to debate the content of the policies at length during the session. The meeting included standard procedural announcements about public comment, interpretation services for Spanish-speaking audience members, and livestream availability; a student reader from Story School also participated in the meeting's opening remarks.
No formal amendments or substantive changes to the policies were recorded in the meeting minutes provided; the record shows only the committee actions to hold specified items and to approve the remaining policies in Section 2000.
The committee adjourned after completing the votes on the Section 2000 items.
