MADISON — State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly today released the following statement regarding the release of an operational school audit report on Milwaukee Public Schools.

 

“The success of our children is at the heart of everything we do. The operational audit report released today on Milwaukee Public Schools offers a clear and practical blueprint for getting the district back on course, ensuring it better serves students and families. I am optimistic that under the leadership of Dr. Brenda Cassellius, the district will take the actionable recommendations from this report and turn them into meaningful change.
