The Milwaukee Board of School Directors took multiple formal actions during its regular monthly meeting.

Independent hearing officers: The board voted to accept the reports of independent hearing officers on student expulsions (motion by Director Seemson), and the roll call resulted in eight ayes and the motion passed.

Committee reports: The board approved the balance of standing committee reports by roll call (eight ayes), after the administration asked that select items from the Committee on Accountability, Finance, and Personnel be set aside for additional presentation.

Procurement and contracts: At the board’s request the administration presented an additional purchase and an additional exception‑to‑bid contract to be added to committee recommendations.
