Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley Statement on Milwaukee Public School

MILWAUKEE – County Executive David Crowley released the following statement regarding the current state of Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS).

“As an MPS parent and alumni, I recognize the concerns and frustration among the community regarding the financial state of Milwaukee Public Schools. This is a serious matter that requires urgent answers and action.

“Accountability and transparency are the way forward. While we currently don’t have all the answers, it’s my hope that the MPS administration and the Milwaukee Board of School Directors work to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.

“Our students deserve every available resource to learn and excel in their education. In order to do that, we can’t afford to leave any state or federal dollar on the table. We must ensure that an adequate amount of teachers, staff, resources, and supportive services are available in Milwaukee schools and classrooms, so every child can focus on their studies and prepare for the next step in their educational journey.

“Today, community members are rightfully asking the question: What is next? Our students, including my own children, deserve better. I believe this is a moment that must be seized in order to enact real change in our education system. I’m looking forward to working with the incoming MPS leadership so we can ensure every possible tool is provided for Milwaukee County students to succeed.”
