6/16/26 Committee on Strategic Planning and Budget (SPB)

The Milwaukee Board of School Directors Committee on Strategic Planning and Budget met on June 16, 2026, to discuss several policy revisions and budget-related items. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of the FY27 annual plan of audits and district risk assessment, which outlined planned audits for internal controls and performance, including a new audit on the contract life cycle process. The committee also reviewed revisions to administrative policy 7.16 concerning alternative education, focusing on increasing accessibility and support for bilingual students, with plans to explore bilingual alternative programs and GED options in Spanish. Additionally, the board discussed policies related to student fees and budget preparation, with a motion to hold the student fees policy for further review due to concerns about access and equity. The committee approved the audit plan and directed administration to update policy 4407 regarding school resource officers to include Miranda rights in a future revision. These actions reflect ongoing efforts to enhance fiscal oversight, policy compliance, and equitable educational services within the district.
