Education

This week in local government: The Dane County boards support a union for UW nurses. Madison takes aim at robots on sidewalks. And the Madison school district puts pen to paper on a contract for its new superintendent.

Operations Workgroup discussing referendum planning and preliminary budget, Nuestro Mundo and MSCR Advisory Committee also meet.

Just one meeting.

Officially, this is the City of Madison Committee, but it has Alders, Dane County Board Supervisors and School Board members along with Mayor and School Superintendent reps.  It could be an impactful group!  They voted to change the name to City, County, Schools Collaborative Committee (CCSCC).  They were almost convinced to disband, but were re-energized with new members after the elections last spring and are discussing what they should be working on.

The longer version than what you will you on WORT - Many government meetings are cancelled due to the coronavirus response. WORT's Dylan Brogan gets the latest from Brenda Konkel on what meetings are still conveying and what comes next.

Superintendent contract being voted on without public input and isn't attached for review.  No public input on referendum questions vote. Student Senate virtual rally for youth input.

Dylan and Brenda discuss upcoming meetings, that city council meeting looks like a long one!

Instruction Work Group hears Community Schools Update, Naming Committee, K-5 Reading Materials and City Education Committees meet.

Forward Lookout's Brenda Konkel and WORT host Dylan Brogan walk us through this week in (virtual) local government.  Development, development, development.

Interesting list of demands and resolution - looks like the students are taking on what many would like to see the council do.

Referendum planning, 2020-2021 Budget Strategy and Timeline and superintendent search.

More closed session meetings, operations work group meeting and City Education Committee meets.
