Howard Fuller withdraws proposal to locate charter school at Milwaukee North Division

Annysa Johnson:

Fuller’s co-location proposal was taken up by the school board’s Charter School Review Panel on Feb. 27, according to a notice provided Friday by MPS’ Office of Board Governance.

He declined to provide a copy of his proposal, and the district has yet to make it available in response to an open records request. Office of Board Governance Director Jacqueline Mann said Friday that charter school proposals may contain proprietary information and that she is working with the Milwaukee city attorney’s office to determine whether it can be released.

While the proposal considered by the advisory panel covered strictly a co-location arrangement — two schools operating in a single building — Fuller said he ultimately “wanted it to be one school.”
