Senator Hutton Expresses Concern and Disappointment Over Wauwatosa’s Decision to Close STEM School
WAUWATOSA – Senator Rob Hutton today voiced concern regarding the Wauwatosa School District’s recent decision to close its STEM school, WSTEM, located inside Wilson Elementary School.
“The decision to close WSTEM is a significant setback for future cohorts of exceptional and aspirational students who want a STEM-focused program but will no longer have access to one,” said Senator Hutton. “STEM education is crucial in preparing our students for a future in which those knowledge, skills and abilities will be sought after and desperately needed by employers. Most importantly, this decision undermines many great opportunities for students who choose to pursue those fields of study.”
Senator Hutton emphasized the importance of supporting STEM programs, highlighting their role in fostering innovation and equipping students with the skills needed in a rapidly evolving job market. He called on the school district to explore solutions to keep STEM-specific programming available to students who want that focused education.
“I urge the district to work with all stakeholders to find a viable path forward. Our students deserve access to the educational resources that best set them up for a future of unlimited opportunities, prosperity and fulfillment,” Hutton said.

Rep. Hutton: Statement on Evers Tax Plan
Feb 6th, 2019 by State Sen. Rob HuttonMadison – Representative Rob Hutton (R-Brookfield) issued the following statement in response to Governor Evers’ Tax Plan. “In contrast to the Republican middle class tax plan, Governor Evers’ tax plan clearly demonstrates that he does not understand the private sector as shown by his irrational commitment to punishing our state’s job creators by raising their taxes,” said Rep. Hutton. “Wisconsin’s manufacturers employ 500,000 people in our state and the Manufacturing and Agriculture tax credit has been responsible for creating 42,000 new jobs. Over the past year Wisconsin has the highest manufacturing growth in the Midwest but now Governor Evers’ reckless tax hikes would stop Wisconsin’s manufacturing renaissance in its tracks. Republicans have shown that, through careful fiscal management, we can invest in Wisconsin job creators and still reduce the tax burden on hard-working Wisconsin families. I will continue to fight for all Wisconsin taxpayers to ensure that they are able to keep more of their hard earned money.” The 13th Assembly District contains parts of Milwaukee and Waukesha counties and includes Elm Grove and portions of Brookfield, Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, and West Allis.
