Educational opportunities for students
Radio For Milwaukee will make WYMS the center of a new citywide educational initiative. RFM
will train students in broadcast and music production skills. We will
involve them in operating the station and create a Web-only radio
station to be run by and for students.
Training
opens the doors for careers in music, marketing, public affairs and
broadcasting. And it provides critical academic motivation for all
students, from the gifted to the under-achieving.
We are currently designing the details of our educational effort. We welcome any input or ideas. Please email us!
Milwaukee School Board broadcasts on WYMS
As a service to Milwaukee parents and the community, WYMS will continue live broadcasts of Milwaukee School Board meetings.
The
broadcasts allow parents, teachers and citizens to hear the School
Board make decisions in a public forum on issues concerning the
district.
This also
furthers the district's formal mission of ensuring "that maximum
educational opportunities are provided for all students to reach their
highest potential, so that students achieve educational and employment
goals, and parents choose the Milwaukee Public Schools to educate their
children."
Meetings are held at the MPS Central Office, 7448 W. Main St.
