Evers issues notice to MPS
Just last week, Governor Jim Doyle was insisting that the fight for mayoral control of Milwaukee Public Schools is not over. Turns out he wasn’t kidding: state Superintendent Tony Evers issued a statement regarding the notice he signed today that will allow him to use his authority to withhold or direct federal funds allocated to Milwaukee Public Schools.
Update: Evers says the statement to MPS is about the district's failure to improve in specific areas which are spelled out in the notice, and NOT about mayoral control, and that my attempt to connect the two in this post was "reprehensible."
