Title

Substitute motion authorizing the Milwaukee Career Exploration Center to operate a Milwaukee Common Council charter school and approving the proposed charter school contract.

Analysis

This motion authorizes the Milwaukee Career Exploration Center to operate a Milwaukee Common Council charter school, as recommended by the charter school review committee.  The motion also approves the proposed charter school contract attached to this file and authorizes and directs the appropriate City officials to execute the contract.                     

Body

Whereas, The state charter school statute, s.118.40, Wis. Stats., and the charter school ordinance, chapter 330, Milw. Code, authorize the Common Council to grant authority to operate a Milwaukee Common Council charter school to applicants who meet the requirements of the statute and ordinance; and

 

Whereas, The Milwaukee Career Exploration Center has applied to operate a Milwaukee Common Council charter school as authorized under the Milwaukee charter school ordinance, chapter 330, Milw. Code, and the Wisconsin charter school statute, s.118.40, Wis. Stats.; and                     

 

Whereas, The charter school review committee has made a written, positive finding for the applicant for all factors described under chapter 330-15, Milw. Code, and has recommended that the Common Council grant the application to operate a Milwaukee Common Council charter school; and

 

Whereas, The City Attorney has negotiated a proposed 5-year charter school contract with the applicant and that proposed contract is attached to this file; now, therefore

 

It is moved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Common Council approves the charter school review committee’s recommendation and authorizes the Milwaukee Career Exploration Center to operate a Milwaukee Common Council charter school beginning with the 2006-2007 school year; and

 

It is further moved, That the Common Council approves the proposed charter school 5-year contract submitted by the City Attorney and authorizes and directs the appropriate City officials to execute the contract substantially in the form attached to this file, with such revisions as may be required by the City Attorney.
