Team Resources
As Milwaukee Public Schools continues to address discipline disproportionality district-wide, in alignment with the resolution with the Office for Civil Rights and the Five Priorities for Success, all schools must establish a team that meets monthly to conduct specific activities, conversations and next steps to address disproportionality, along with school climate and culture. This team should be your PBIS Tier 1 team.
Any questions or concerns please contact Jon Jagemann (475-8645 or jagemaj@milwaukee.k12.wi.us)
