6/16/26 Committee on Finance and Operations

The Milwaukee Board of School Directors Committee on Finance and Operations met on June 16, 2026, to discuss various administrative and operational matters. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a purchase order to HMH Education Company for supplemental instructional resources for grades 9 through 12, funded through the FY27 budget. The committee also approved limited term conservation easements involving Milwaukee Public Schools, the city of Milwaukee, and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District, as well as an amended use and maintenance agreement with the Milwaukee Boys and Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee. Additionally, the committee reviewed a comprehensive transportation analysis report highlighting opportunities for cost savings and efficiency improvements in pupil transportation, including potential bus stop consolidations, bell time adjustments, and increased use of public transit. The board approved motions to continue monthly revenue and expenditure reporting through October and to hold the waiver of administrative policy 3.05 for further discussion. Salary schedules for FY27 were also approved. No immediate action was taken on transportation recommendations, but further stakeholder engagement and updates are planned. The meeting included public comments primarily focused on personnel and school leadership concerns but did not result in direct procurement decisions related to those comments.
