Schools come up with action plans every day. In fact, the Milwaukee Schools recently announced the adoption of an action plan that is designed to make its students competitive with some of the best schools in the country. The plan, designated Working Together, Achieving More, was adopted by the board of Milwaukee Schools in July 2007. But gauging whether a plan means real change, or just a good press release isnt always easy. The Milwaukee Public Schools plan is meant to be acted on immediately, but it claims to provide for years of improvement. In it the school board lays out benchmarks for success for the years 2007 through 2012.
Entire Community Bands Together to Improve Milwaukee Schools
The committee that researched and designed this new plan was not made up of a bunch of academics with little experience in the classroom or the real world. In fact, input was asked for from many different areas. Educators, administrators, researchers, business leaders, families and many others worked together to come up with a plan designed to put Milwaukee Schools on the map. Id say that this is a point in their favor.
