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

Affordable apartments proposed to replace underused Wauwatosa offices

An affordable apartment community is being proposed to redevelop a Wauwatosa site that now has two underused office buildings. The four-story, 59-unit apartment building would be constructed at 11400 W. Blue Mound Road, said developer Brandon Methu. It would provide one- to three-bedroom units for moderate-income families. Methu's firm, Northernstar Companies LLC , is co-developing the project, known as Bluemound Commons, with Wisconsin Partnership for Housing Development Inc. – a Madison-based nonprofit. Bluemound Commons is among the applicants for the 2027 round of affordable housing tax credits. Developers that receive affordable housing tax credits must generally provide at least 85% of a building's apartments at below-market rents to people earning no higher than 60% of the local median income for 30 years. The tax credits are sold to raise cash, with the developers then obtaining bank loans and other funding sources to complete their financing packages. The Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority usually announces in spring which developments are receiving tax credits. Bluemound Commons would meet a strong demand for affordable apartments for families in Wauwatosa, as opposed to apartments targeting just elderly renters, Methu told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The site is a strong location in part because
