Each weekday, Milwaukee Public Schools will operate each of the Stop, Grab and Go pickup locations through the end of the 2019-2020 school year. In addition, MPS will continue its distribution of Chromebooks to students this week after launching its Online Learning Resources platform for students and families to learn remotely.
Last week, Governor Tony Evers extended Wisconsin’s Safer at Home order to May 26th, closing all K-12 schools in the state for the remainder of the school year.
