MPS_AnnualReport_Dec2013.indd 2 1/13/14 4:36 PM Dear Friends and Community Members, e are pleased to present the Fiscal Year 2013 Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) Report to the Community to our W district’s families, staff, neighbors and community members . We have worked hard over the past year to increase student achievement and are proud to share with you those and other success stories . Michael Bonds, Ph.D. Gregory E. Thornton, Ed.D. We continue to focus our efforts on three core tenets: student achievement, family and student engagement, and efficient and effective operations . Our focus is providing a high standard of care for all students . There are signs we are having success . MPS students scored better than two years ago in both grades (4th and 8th) and both subjects (math and reading) tested in the rigorous National Assessment of Educational Progress Trial Urban District Assessment . Students also outpaced the U .S . growth rate in math and reading . Chief among our accomplishments in 2012–13, we kicked our college and career-readiness efforts into high gear . With a $30 million GEAR UP grant, we are providing college prep and planning services to MPS students as young as 10 years old and ramp up those services throughout high school . We opened two College Access Centers in two years, helping 5,000 students find college application assistance and scholarship success . In fact, the Class of 2013 earned $24 million in scholarships, $6 million more than the Class of 2012 . Other 2012–13 highlights include: ] Laying the groundwork for the implementation of College Board’s SpringBoard programming in seven MPS schools to prepare students in grades 6 to 12 for college success ] Restructuring a $20 .4 million GE grant to better implement the Common Core State Standards at MPS ] Enhancing operations and services at three District Parent Resource Centers ] Adding two community partners to Learning Journeys, the hands-on initiative that supports the rigorous Common Core aligned curriculum Over the past three years, we have made progress in our core mission to prepare all students for success . We continue to focus on key initiatives that will help our students throughout their years in MPS and beyond . These efforts include the implementation of the Common Core State Standards, the Comprehensive Literacy Plan and the Comprehensive Math and Science Plan . We are implementing and growing successful academic programs . We have laid the groundwork to expand these successful initiatives for the 2013–14 school year: ] Standards-based report cards are being used in more MPS schools to help students, parents and staff better assess progress and identify areas in need of improvement ] Hands-on STEM program Project Lead the Way (PLTW) was implemented in three more schools . MPS has the largest urban PLTW effort in the U .S . ] The world-renowned International Baccalaureate program is being expanded to new schools ] The expansion of the MPS Head Start program All of our efforts are centered on providing opportunities for academic excellence while being fiscally responsible . Thank you for your support in helping us to achieve these goals . Michael Bonds, Ph .D . Gregory E . Thornton, Ed .D . President, Milwaukee Board of School Directors Superintendent of Schools For the latest on Milwaukee Public Schools, follow us on Twitter @MilwaukeeMPS or on Facebook.com. 1 MPS_AnnualReport_Dec2013.indd 1 1/13/14 4:37 PM Student Achievement: Preparing for Success ou may feel as if you know Mayra Alaniz, a Y South Division grad now attending Georgetown University or Langston Peoples, the Stanford University freshman who earned his high school diploma from Rufus King . They are just two of the students featured in the Milwaukee Public Schools summer marketing campaign, Start at MPS. Stay at MPS. Succeed at MPS. Their success is an example of the great things MPS graduates are achieving at the top colleges and universities in the country, and right here at home . Our graduates become the police officers, attorneys, teachers, doctors, plumbers and engineers who help make Milwaukee a vital and vibrant place to live . Left to right: Langston Peoples, Zhenrui Liao, Adam Villanueva and Mayra Alaniz, are among the Class of 2013 grads who have headed off to some of the nation’s top colleges. We’re working hard to make sure more students have the opportunities to find success, whether they’re headed to universities across the country, colleges here at home, apprenticeships in the skilled trades or right into the world of work . College- and career-readiness programming in MPS begins with students in elementary grades . In 2012-13, we expanded the innovative Learning Journeys program to provide all students in K4-8 with curriculum-based, grade-specific, hands- on learning opportunities at Discovery World, the Milwaukee Public Museum, and Junior Achievement . Advanced Placement courses and the highly-regarded International Baccalaureate program also offer options that help prepare students for the rigors of college while also providing the potential to earn college credit . The pre-AP prep program, SpringBoard, gets MPS students on the AP path even earlier than before . MPS’ two TEAM UP College Access Centers help guide students along the path to success, providing information and assistance on college applications, admissions requirements and options for life after high school . In 2012-13, the centers served more than 3,500 MPS community members and students, a significant increase from the 500 served the prior year . There’s also great opportunity for students to receive career-based training while still in high school . Through Career and Technical Education, students learn about high-demand fields – including healthcare, information technology and manufacturing – through apprenticeships and internships . These opportunities can lead to full-time employment and great careers . Results that show our efforts are paying off . Once again, several MPS schools earned top honors in national rankings by U.S. News & World Report and the Washington Post. The MPS Class of 2013 earned $24 million in scholarships – up $6 million from the previous year . We are proud of the success of all of our graduates and are committed to growing the next generation of successful and engaged citizens . 2 MPS_AnnualReport_Dec2013.indd 2 1/13/14 4:37 PM Student Achievement: On Track for Success n 2011, the future looked bright for Dakota Caldwell . He had just graduated from Washington High School of Information and Technology in the top five percent of his class, had a Direct Supply youth apprenticeship under his I belt and was set to begin his freshman year at the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, Ariz . But just weeks before he was supposed to leave for Arizona, he realized that the grants and scholarships he had been awarded weren’t going to cover the costs of school and living so far from home . He made the difficult decision not to go . For the first time in years, the driven teen found himself without a plan . That’s when Direct Supply stepped in to help get him back on course .
