School Engagement Council (SEC)

School spirit and student enrichment are on the agenda for Parent Teacher Associations and Organizations district-wide. School policies, procedures, and student well-being are the work of School Engagement Councils, established in Milwaukee Public Schools in 1997.

The MacDowell Montessori School Engagement Council meets every third Wednesday of the month from 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and is followed by the MacDowell Parent Teacher Organization meeting at 5:30 p.m.

School Engagement Council members are volunteers who care about MacDowell Montessori School and our students. The council’s decision-making authority is both advisory and influential as members:

  • Analyze school climate, performance, and budgetary issues.
  • Advise school faculty and administration on matters affecting curriculum, student performance, and overall student well-being.

Participate in our School Engagement Council

  • As a voting member. Contact Gail Jaeger, parent coordinator, at mossergj@milwaukee.k12.wi.us to inquire about membership.
  • As an informed community member. Attend an open meeting.
