Milwaukee school administrators face backlash over $200K salary proposal
“MPS cannot continue to give administrators big raises while at the same time laying off teachers,” Beverly Hamilton-Williams said.
The proposed budget the school board approved this summer cut 149 teacher jobs. Still, interim superintendent Eduardo Galvan penned $200,000 salary adjustments for four administrators under an agenda item.
The salary increases would have affected Chief of Staff Paulette Chambers, Interim Chief School Administration Officer Michael Harris, Chief Human Resources Officer Adria Maddaleni and Chief Academic Officer Jennifer Mims-Howell.
The recommended adjustments were crossed off before Tuesday’s meeting started.
“My constituents in the seventh district let me have it,” MPS school board director Henry Leonard said.
