Milwaukee Public Schools are sub-optimal. [1] If what they've been doing is not working, then more of the same ain't gonna help. Possibly a change in tactics is in order.
What say the candidates [2] for Superintendent?
Tony Evers: I'll have something on my web site about this Real Soon Now.
Rose Fernandez: Appoint a team of community experts to fix the major problems. They have three years, then turn the system over to a new school board. Details here.
Lowell Holtz: Boy - those schools in Milwaukee are bad, huh?
Van Mobley: Sooner started, sooner done! I won't rest until someone fixes the problem.
Todd Price: Put the public back in public education.

[1] How sub-optimal? The state paid 59 percent of spending in 2007-08. $13,673 per kid. A graduation rate of 46% (or 68% per MPS).
[2] Based on the candidates websites and absolutely no other research. I figure if they don't care enough to post something, I don't care enough to chase around for the information.
