The McKenzie Foundation, in partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County (BGCDC), has withdrawn its Forward Career & College Academy (FCCA) instrumentality charter school proposal to the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) and plans to withdraw its independent charter school proposal from the University of Wisconsin’s Office of Educational Opportunities. The announcement follows recent news that several MMSD board members opposed the proposal.
While the charter school proposals will not proceed at this time, the McKenzie Foundation and BGCDC have committed to working collaboratively with MMSD to develop innovative programs that will prepare students for college, career, and community success and create accessible pathways to enter high-demand workforce sectors.
Career and technical education opportunities through MMSD are available here.
