Three months ago, I spent a morning at Auer Avenue School, a Milwaukee Public Schools grade school that is gaining new drive and focus as a “community school.” I liked what I saw.
But one of the things that sticks in my mind is something I said, not something they told me. At the end of the morning, I met with about 10 people involved in the school. One of them asked what I thought of the new law that allows Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele to take control of some MPS schools.
