• Subtraction by Addition a Watchdog Report On Mps' Failed Construction Program <> Empty Promise <> Milwaukee Public Schools Spent $102 Million On a Building Spree Meant to Reduce Busing by Convincing Parents to Enroll Students in Bigger, Better Neighborhood Schools. Today, Many of Those New Classrooms Go Unused.; First of Three Parts

A massive building expansion by Milwaukee Public Schools has saddled the district with tens of millions of dollars worth of vacant or severely underused school additions, a Journal Sentinel investigation found. The $102 million Neighborhood Schools Initiative was supposed to get students off buses and into revamped schools near their homes. Instead, darkened classrooms and half-empty buildings serve as monuments to the program's failures.

• Milwaukee Public Schools Building Upgrades School Construction Funds Can Be Constructively Used Even in a District with Too Many Buildings. Mps and the Community Should Welcome the Dollars.

The U.S. Senate will tinker with the numbers in the economic stimulus bill, but things are looking good at the moment for Milwaukee Public Schools. Yes, because the district now has too many buildings for too few students, it's easy to generate indignation over the prospect that it will get millions of dollars more for "school construction. That's shortsighted. "Construction" under this bill can be defined as including essentials such as retrofitting existing buildings to make them energy efficient, for instance, or rewiring a school to make it more 21st-century friendly. And that's just fine with us.
