What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the school board of the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS)

may apply to the Department of Administration (DOA) for an annual grant to be used

by MPS to improve pupil academic achievement. MPS must include with the

application a plan describing the initiatives for which the grant moneys will be used.

If DOA approves the plan, it must notify the Department of Public Instruction (DPI),

and the state superintendent must pay MPS the amount specified in the notice from

DOA.

This bill changes the department to which MPS may apply for a grant from

DOA to DPI.
