Milwaukee Public Schools no longer required to participate in OSPP
Wednesday, October 12, 2016
MILWAUKEE (October 12, 2016) Milwaukee Public Schools is no longer required to participate in the Opportunity Schools and Partnership program, according to a letter released today by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
The letter issued today informed MPS it will not have to participate in the program because the district is no longer in the bottom category in the state school report card. Only school districts in the lowest category of the state report card for two consecutive years are required to participate in OSPP.
“While we are energized by the progress we’re making, we still have significant work to do,” said Dr. Driver. “We are working with students, staff and dozens of community partners to better prepare all of our young people for success, particularly at the secondary school level.”
MPS has committed to rethinking high schools by expanding college-level Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate classes as well as career and technical education offerings. This year, 21 percent of all MPS high school students are taking a college-level class. The district also added more than 350 students to a culinary arts program as it expands career and technical education options.
While the details of the state report card will not be released until next month, MPS’ local STAR assessment data shows growth in student achievement and signs that the district is closing achievement gaps:
- Literacy is improving across all grade levels.
- The number of students on target for proficiency in reading improved last year by two percent.
- Early reading skills increased significantly, with 51 percent of all K5 and 1st grade students on target at the end of the school year compared to only 43 percent on target at the beginning of the school year.
“We are heading in the right direction. Our collective focus as a community must be on working together to support our young people,” said MPS Board President Mark Sain. “If we continue to do the right thing for our students, we will not fail.”
Last year, the Wisconsin Legislature made changes to the school report card to improve transparency and authenticity. That included weighting school performance to account for student poverty rates, student disabilities and the length of time a school has had to influence a student’s academic progress.

Hayes Bilingual Students View Hidden Figures and See the Connection with Math & Science in the World
by Estelle Wolters
Middle School students at Hayes Bilingual viewed the movie Hidden Figures, a historical nonfiction movie about three African American mathematicians who paved the way for minority women at NASA. 
Marcus Theaters and other sponsors helped fund students to attend this month as a part of an initiative to inspire students to become more involved in math and sciences. Hayes Bilingual is a school of science and technology already and participates in STEM, PLTW and the MPS District Science Fair. This was yet another way that students connected with community and became educated about the world of math and sciences outside of the classroom.
Thank you to MPS and all the partnerships that contributed to our students’ education!

MPS is launching a districtwide uniform policy that will begin with the start of the 2017–18 school year.
Milwaukee Public Schools is launching a districtwide uniform policy that will begin with the start of the 2017–18 school year.
The new policy implements school uniforms for all students in all district schools. A few schools have declined the uniform policy. Parents have the option to excuse their children from wearing uniforms by requesting and filing a form with the child’s school.
The policy sets basic uniform guidelines that apply to all Milwaukee Public Schools. The MPS districtwide uniform consists of khaki-style/uniform pants that are tan, navy blue or black, and polo shirts in black or navy blue. Students may also wear school-specific colors and styles that have been approved by the principal and School Governance Council.
Families can purchase uniform clothing from any store or source of their choice. A list of suggested vendors along with information about school-specific uniform colors and styles is available at each school and by visiting http://mpsmke.com/uniforms.
For additional questions or concerns, families can contact their child’s school. Families who wish to opt out of the uniform requirement should contact the school directly to complete the necessary forms.
