The new Super of MPS sees a budget bloodbath coming.
.. "I just want to make sure you understand all of the implications of every decision you have to make," said Dr. Brenda Cassellius at Thursday's school board meeting. "I will also be bringing cuts -- deep, deep cuts -- into the district for contracting and central office and across the board."...
Hmmmmm.
The teachers' union--a very obnoxious bunch--is demanding a 2.6% raise, which will cost about $55 million. But the District already faces a $100 million shortfall, and you can be sure that Robin Vos told the Super that the suckers taxpayers are in Full Revolt Mood. If he didn't, he should, especially after the $250 MILLION fraud MPS perpetrated on Milwaukee taxpayers a couple of years ago.
Expect a teachers strike. And if the Super has guts, expect to see strike-breakers, too. That may be the only way to save MPS. If nothing else, a strike by the highest-paid and most-richly-benefitted union in the State will tell you that the Teachers' Union priorities are NOT the children in school.
Oh--and buy popcorn futures!
