By
Tony Evers, PhD
Madison, WI — State Superintendent Tony Evers issued a statement regarding the notice he signed that will allow him to use his authority to withhold or direct federal funds allocated to Milwaukee Public Schools.
“As the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, I have a legal responsibility to the children of Milwaukee. Today, I issued a notice that will allow me to speed up change in the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) through the use of my authority regarding federal funds. Using the only tool allowed under state law, I am acting to ensure federal funds are used effectively to improve MPS.
“No one can or should be satisfied with the current progress in MPS to improve. I look forward to full cooperation to implement all required changes, with an increased sense of urgency, as I continue to work with MPS leaders.”
