MMAC statement on MPS referendum

 

With a $252 million referendum now passed, it’s vital that Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) uses these additional resources to improve student outcomes. The MPS plan must be transparent and bold.  The status quo is unacceptable and a strategic plan to better equip MPS students for the workforce of tomorrow is essential. Our community, its families and, most importantly, our children deserve public schools that set students up to succeed. It’s our view that every child, no matter where they attend, is entitled to a quality education. Despite MMAC’s opposition to this measure, we realize the importance MPS plays by educating half of the children in the city.  We will continue to be a strong partner in programming that exposes students to the opportunities awaiting them upon graduation.
