Grades 1 to 6 Expansion Business Plan Grades 1 to 6 Expansion Business Plan December 7, 2018 “Until many more...minority students...are very successful educationally, it will be virtually impossible to integrate our society’s institutions completely, especially at leadership levels.

App. 1 Intervenor Respondents Gender Equity Association of James Madison Memorial High School, Gender Sexuality Alliance of Madison West Hight School, and Gender Sexuality Alliance of Robert M. La Follette High School ("Intervenor Respondents") oppose the petition by Petitioners seeking leave to appeal a non-final order from the circuit court. The circuit court found that Wisconsin law did not allow Petitioners the relief they sought and, that even if the federal standard Petitioners championed applied in Wisconsin, Petitioners had not shown they were entitled to relief under that standard. Because the circuit court was correct on the law and appropriately exercised its discretion, Petitioners cannot satisfy the criteria for permissive appeal. Although the circuit court denied Petitioners' request to proceed anonymously to the parties and to the court, the circuit court carefully crafted a solution that would allow Petitioners to shield their names from the public while, at the same time, allowing Respondents to obtain discovery.

  • Board of Education for the Madison Metropolitan School District
    July 25, 2019 To: Board of Education for the Madison Metropolitan School District Jennifer Cheatham, Superintendent From: Matthew Bell, General Counsel Re: Naming an Athletic Facility-Naming Rights in Consideration - La Follette High School Gymnasium At the Madison Metropolitan School District’s Board of Education meeting on July 29, 2019, the Board of Education will be asked to vote on a naming proposal for the La Follette High School (LHS) gymnasium. The support for this request was generated by and from the LHS school community and supporters of Mr. Pete Olson, a former District employee. Background Over the past two years, members of the La Follette High School community have sought to name the high school’s gymnasium “The Pete Olson Athletic Center” in honor of former La Follette High School basketball coach and educator, Pete Olson. Last year, community members garnered support in the form of financial contributions to fund the project. Relevant Board Policy Naming an area within a school is governed by BOE Policy 6701 (Proposal for Naming a Facility or Area Within a School or School Campus, Policy attached to this memo). The currently proposed naming is unique in that it is accompanied by a financial contribution (i.e. naming rights in consideration) and it would also honor a distinguished member of the La Follette community (i.e. naming rights in recognition). However, because the Policies regarding naming rights in consideration are more stringent, the committee analyzed the request for naming rights consistent with that section of the Policy. Also, in accordance with that Policy, La Follette established a committee and held a publicly noticed meeting to review the proposed naming and analyzed the questions set forth in the Policy.
