Title
A substitute ordinance relating to the membership of the black male achievement advisory council.
Sections
320-29-2-c cr

Analysis
This ordinance revises the composition of the black male achievement advisory council. The membership of the advisory council increases from 12 members to 16 members. The new advisory council members are the city treasurer, a representative of the Milwaukee county board of supervisors, a representative of the Milwaukee board of school directors, and 2 members representing the philanthropic community. The city residency requirement shall not apply to members of the black male achievement advisory council.
This ordinance also expands the purpose of the black male achievement advisory council to include making recommendations relating to the My Brother's Keeper presidential initiative. The My Brother's Keeper initiative is an interagency effort to measurably improve the expected educational and life outcomes for and address the persistent opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color. The My Brother's Keeper initiative encourages communities to implement a coherent cradle-to-college-and-career strategy for improving the life outcomes of all young people to ensure that they can reach their full potential, regardless of who they are, where they come from, or the circumstances into which they are born.
