The Milwaukee School District's Regular Monthly Board Meeting on August 1, 2025, focused on several key issues, including community health clinics and the effectiveness of the "meet and confer" process with the Milwaukee Teachers' Association (MTA).

One significant discussion centered on the district's efforts to host health clinics during the summer months. Board members noted the challenges of attracting families to these clinics when school is not in session. Plans are underway to conduct another clinic this month, with a focus on identifying schools that could serve as suitable locations. Questions were raised about attendance at previous clinics, particularly regarding the differences in turnout between South and North locations. Board members emphasized the need for data analysis to understand attendance patterns better and improve future clinic scheduling.

Another critical topic was the "meet and confer" process, which has reportedly not been functioning as effectively under the new superintendent. Board members expressed concerns about the strained relationship between the administration and the MTA, particularly following recent restructuring. President Zombor acknowledged the importance of this process and indicated that efforts are being made to restore effective communication and collaboration.

Additionally, the board discussed ongoing maintenance issues within schools, such as cleaning and filter replacement. President Zombor highlighted that the board's approval of additional staffing has helped address these concerns, ensuring that schools receive the necessary support for maintenance.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to improving community health initiatives and enhancing communication with educators, while also addressing operational challenges within schools. The board plans to continue monitoring these issues and implementing strategies for improvement.
