Spirit Of Cooperation: South Milwaukee Council, School Board Plan Joint Meeting

The South Milwaukee City Council and South Milwaukee School Board have planned a joint meeting for Tuesday, March 13.

There is just one item on the agenda: a discussion “regarding strengthening school and community partnerships.”

I’m excited for the meeting and look forward to the dialog. I was proud to be a part of district’s long-range visioning and planning process in 2010, and stepping up this type of community collaboration is one of the goals that came out of this work.

Learn more about the district’s “four CEs” — including “community engagement” — in this informative two-pager, which summarizes the district, its students, its vision for the future and its plan to get there.

It tells a great story — a story that only gets better as the city finds new and innovative ways to partner with its first-class schools.
