MPS leader demands more for students

Alan J. Borsuk reports in today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on a speech yesterday by Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent William Andrekopoulos.

Andrekopoulos told the annual school-year kick-off program for principals, school administrators and community leaders that the auditorium where the School Board meets had been filled in recent years on occasions when people were demanding that jazz radio be continued on the Milwaukee Public Schools' radio station, when people were upset about plans for a piece of forest owned by MPS and when people wanted to protect the pay and benefits of adults.

"I'm still waiting for the day for that auditorium to be filled with adults rallying around our children," he said.
