Most Milwaukee students not attending MPS schools

(The Center Square) – For the first time, most students in Milwaukee are not attending one of Milwaukee’s public schools. Marquette University Law School senior fellow Alan Borsuk published his research in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday. "Half of the children who live in the city of Milwaukee and who receive publicly funded education are enrolled in the Milwaukee Public Schools system. And half are enrolled in schools that are not part of MPS," Borsuk wrote. "It’s a reality with major implications." Borsuk's research shows that there are 104,363 students in Milwaukee this year. He said that about half, a little more than 50,000 go to either private voucher schools or public charter schools. "More than 50,000 Milwaukee students are now getting education outside of MPS schools. Whether you like school choice programs or not, whether you like or dislike the impact of school choice on the conventional public school systems, you can’t ignore the reality: None of those 50,000-plus children were assigned to go to non-MPS schools. Such assignments would be against the law. The kids are there by choice," Borsuk added. Will Flanders, with the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, said the choice part of Borsuk's

Milwaukee Schools Lean Too Hard on Special Ed Referrals, Consultants Warn

Outside consultants who reviewed Milwaukee Public Schools’ special education referrals and disciplinary transfers say the district appears to be leaning too heavily on both, pointing instead to a need for more direct support when students act out in class. The consultants have proposed building a behavioral rapid response team and expanding early childhood education as ways to cut down on referrals they consider unnecessary.

After 34 years, Assata High School suddenly closing in November

Assata High School, which since 1992 has served Milwaukee students at risk of not graduating from high school, plans to close at the end of November because of low enrollment. The news came in a Nov. 3 letter from Tony Kearney, president of the board of directors for Assata, to Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Brenda Cassellius. The closure will be effective Nov. 30, he wrote. As a partnership school, Assata is run as a nonprofit by an independent board of directors, but it relies on a contract with MPS for funding and oversight. It offers credit recovery courses and career exploration. The Milwaukee School Board is scheduled to consider the mutual termination of its contract with Assata at a meeting Nov. 12 . In his letter to MPS, Kearney expressed "sincere regret" about the closure. "This decision was reached after careful consideration and is the result of declining enrollment over the past couple of years, a trend that has made it no longer possible to serve our scholars at the level they deserve," Kearney wrote. Assata has enrolled between 90 and 130 students each year for the past two decades, state data show. In 2024, enrollment dropped to 78, then

Small Wisconsin school district to dissolve after voters reject referendum

(The Center Square) – The Hustisford School District, in eastern Wisconsin, is going away. Wisconsin’s School District Boundary Appeal Board on voted to dissolve the district. It is the first time since 1990 board agreed to close a school district. Hustisford has just 238 students in the entire district and has been losing students for years. The school district asked voters for a $4 million referendum in April, but it failed. Quickly after the election, Hustisford Schools then began the process of shutting down. The vote was the final step. Wisconsin's state superintendent blamed a lack of money, and how the entire state of Wisconsin pays for schools for the shutdown. "The Hustisford School District is a casualty of decades of an antiquated, broken school funding formula that has failed to keep pace with the costs of educating our children," State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly said in a statement. But Hustisford Schools were spending about the state's average per student. Budget numbers show Hustisford's budget was more than $6 million per year and show that the school spends about $22,000 per student. That's more than Wisconsin's state average of nearly $18,000 per student. Hustisford is in rural Dodge County, and
