Chapter 220 Program Application Period
January 7 – 25, 2008

Chapter 220 is the popular name for the Voluntary Student Transfer Program.  This program is designed to racially integrate schools by giving minority students the opportunity to attend schools in suburban areas that are predominantly non-minority (white).  Non-minority students from the suburbs are given the opportunity to attend racially diverse schools in Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS).

Minority Milwaukee residents are eligible to participate in this exchange program if they live in Milwaukee school attendance areas where 30% or more of the students are minorities (African American, Asian, Hispanic, Native American).

Milwaukee minority residents, who live in an attendance area with population greater than 70% non-minority (white), are not eligible for Chapter 220 program participation.

Elmbrook residents who want their child to attend a MPS school next year need to submit an application between January 7 – 25, 2008 at the Elmbrook School District administrative offices, 13780 Hope Street, Brookfield. 

Milwaukee parents who wish to send their children to Elmbrook need to submit an application to the MPS Chapter 220 Office.  Elmbrook School District has 29 openings in kindergarten through second grade for MPS students for school year 2008-2009.
