President Sain requested a moment of silence to commemorate the passing of Gerzon Lima, a 17-year-old student at South Division High School, who passed away on August 23, 2016. AWARDS AND COMMENDATIONS (Item 1) Excellence in Education Award — Sojourner White Each month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes an outstanding school, student, staff member, parent, or community member for a display of excellence, achievement, and innovation that may serve as an example to our school district and the entire Milwaukee community. This month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors is pleased to present the Excellence in Education Award to Sojourner White Sojourner White, who attended Elm Creative Arts School and Roosevelt Creative Arts Middle and is a 2012 graduate of Rufus King International High School, is presently a student at Bradley University in Illinois. She has received the prestigious Fulbright U.S. Student Award, which places grantees in schools overseas to supplement local English-language instruction and to provide a native speaker presence in the classrooms. Sojourner will teach English and serve as a cultural ambassador in Spain. Sojourner plans to work in school psychology after she returns from Spain and to continue on to graduate school to pursue further education. The Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes and honors Sojourner White for her dedication, outstanding leadership, and academic excellence. * * * * * APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the regular Board meetings of July 28, 2016, were approved as printed. * * * * * REPORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS (Item 1) Superintendent of Schools' Monthly Report The Superintendent’s Report is designed to provide the Milwaukee Board of School Directors and the MPS community with an update on current activities underway to support the District’s goals of academic 203 August 25] 204 [2016 achievement; student, family and community engagement; and effective and efficient operations, as they are aligned to the District’s eight Strategic Objectives: • Closing the GAP • Re-envisioning Partnerships • Educating the Whole Child • Communication & Outreach • Redefining the MPS Experience • Workforce Development • Rethinking High Schools • Organizational Processes Meetings from late July through mid-August follow. I attended the Superintendent’s Advisory Council of the College Board. We discussed Pre-AP Programs, College Board Benchmarks, State Policy Updates, and SAT Assessments. It was a great opportunity to share ideas and gain insight into these important topics for our students. We celebrated the second successful year of the small business division of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (COSBE), Be the Spark Business Education Tours. This initiative provides MPS seventh-graders access to small businesses throughout Milwaukee. In less than a year, more than 1,800 of our students have visited corporate executives, toured businesses, and discovered potential career paths in various industries. Be the Spark is an excellent opportunity for our middle-school students to gain first-hand understanding of future career options. Be the Spark is truly a launching pad for our students in thinking about career possibilities as early as 12 years of age. I met with staff from the curriculum and fine arts departments to strategize on the “Year of the Arts 2017/Arts Expansion” initiative and the formation of “Cre8MKE.” Cre8MKE is a collective initiative of the arts and education communities of Milwaukee seeking to ensure equitable access to high-quality arts experiences for all children and youth in Milwaukee. I went to the Summerfest Corporate Offices to meet with Jennifer and Joe Bartolotta; Don Smiley, President and CEO of Summerfest; and Sarah Pancheri, VP of Marketing, One of the topics we discussed was the Milwaukee Jazz Education Series. There will be a kick-off event on Wednesday, September 21, from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. at the Henry Meir Festival Park. This year, the education series is featuring new curriculum, including small-group instruction breakouts and performance opportunities available to all middle- and high-school-aged musicians. My team and I met with Carol Johnson, National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) Ambassador. She reported on the NAEP’s 2015 results, NAEP’s transition to digitally-based assessments, and the impact of Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) on NAEP. My monthly “First Friday” interview with WNOV Radio was broadcast. I shared the importance of our community and its role in supporting and ensuring our students’ success, the openings of new schools on the north side, and the expanded Milwaukee Spanish Immersion program. Vincent Lyles and I met with JoAnne Anton to discuss the possibility of a SPARK partnership among Senator Kohl, Milwaukee Public Schools, and the Boys and Girls Club. I am very excited about the impact this partnership would have on Milwaukee’s kids and literacy. Members of my administration, board members, and community partners joined me in the District’s Day One event at Metcalfe to celebrate the first day of school for those students on the year-round calendar. The Day One event for IB schools was held at Pulaski high school to welcome the students on their first day of classes in IB schools. Awards/Recognition Eight schools from Milwaukee Public Schools are sharing $25,000 in music education grants awarded by the Summerfest Foundation Inc. This is the second straight year in which MPS schools have received these music education grants. Last year, five MPS schools were named grant recipients. The eight MPS schools who will be receiving grants this year are: • Albert E. Kagel Elementary School • Elm Creative Arts School August 25] 205 [2016 • Humboldt Park School • Lincoln Center of the Arts • Milwaukee Environmental Sciences Academy • Morse Middle School for the Gifted and Talented • North Division High School • Reagan IB High School. The Summerfest Foundation Inc. grants are awarded to enhance opportunities for students who may have no exposure to instrumental music or those who may require advanced instruction which is currently unavailable to them. The Summerfest Foundation Inc. supports initiatives of Milwaukee World Festival Inc., which include charitable and educational purposes, and provide a showcase for the performing arts. Expanding fine-arts offerings is part of an effort to redefine the MPS experience by offering students a variety of extracurricular and expanded academic opportunities. Events/Programs MPS and UW-Madison have committed their ongoing support to the agriculture program at Vincent High School and have called for other community partners to join them
