State superintendent statement on MPS corrective action plan

MADISON — State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly today released the following statement regarding an update from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to a corrective action plan with Milwaukee Public Schools. 

 

“I remain committed to always doing what is best for the kids of Milwaukee and all of Wisconsin. I know leadership in Milwaukee and people across the state share this commitment; Milwaukee school leadership needs to live up to this expectation as well. I am confident the MPS Board of School Directors will approve and implement the corrective action plan we sent them today. An approved CAP is an important first step to strengthen schools for our learners, who deserve the very best from the adults who serve them every day.”
