School leaders in metro Milwaukee declined over 5-year period

Breann Schossow:

Over a five-year period, the number of public school leaders in metro Milwaukee has not only gotten smaller — it’s also less educated, less experienced and mostly white, according to a new report.

The report, “Guiding Principals,” from the Milwaukee-based Public Policy Forum, is the second in a three-part series looking at teachers and school leaders in the Milwaukee area. The report focused on school leaders and their characteristics. The first report, released earlier this year, looked at the teacher workforce. That workforce also got smaller, was less experienced, and was mostly white.
