CHRIS RICKERT and EMILY HAMER Wisconsin State Journal A Dane County school district claimed Monday night that it was working with local nonprofit YWCA Madison on community healing after three middle school teachers gave sixth-graders an assignment on the first day of Black History Month that asked them how they would punish a slave â but the YWCA's CEO says no such partnership exists. "That is not true," YWCA CEO Vanessa McDowell said Monday night of the district's claim. "We have not even had a conversation about a partnership." In a statement later Monday night, the  Sun Prairie School District clarified that it "does not have a formalized partnership as defined by a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the YWCA at this time."
