High School 7th - 12th

School Overview

The Felmers O. Chaney Correctional Center (FCCC) is not a traditional school, but rather a **minimum-security correctional facility** operated by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, it serves as a transitional center for adult male offenders. The facility is primarily focused on rehabilitation and successful reintegration into society, operating under a mission to help residents transition from incarceration back into the community through work-release programs and structured oversight.

Because it functions as a correctional institution, the "education" provided at the facility is vocational and rehabilitative in nature rather than academic in a collegiate sense. The center emphasizes workforce development, requiring eligible residents to maintain employment in the Milwaukee area. By focusing on employment, life skills training, and community-based programming, the center aims to reduce recidivism by ensuring that individuals have the financial stability and behavioral tools necessary to become productive, law-abiding members of the community upon their release.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).

Title I Program Overview: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) allocates federal financial assistance to local educational agencies and public schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
