Milwaukee Schools' New Strategic Plan

Alan Borsuk:

Two men, who often did not work together openly in the past, stood Monday in front of a crowd that, at many times, wouldn't have been receptive to either of them.

"From our standpoint, this is a remarkable day," said Sam Carmen, executive director of the Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association, as he and schools Superintendent William Andrekopoulos made a presentation to a luncheon of about 100 members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, a private group of civic leaders that has played a big role in charting Milwaukee's course for decades.

"This is the real deal," Carmen told the audience, describing the impact that a new strategic plan for Milwaukee Public Schools could have. The draft of the plan, created largely by the teachers union and MPS leaders, was released recently and is expected to be presented for action by the Milwaukee School Board in June. The Greater Milwaukee Committee funded the process of creating the plan.

Carmen said the plan presents "a real opportunity to change teaching and learning in Milwaukee Public Schools."
