Milwaukee Public Schools families are organizing. Earl Ingram sits down with Kristen Payne and Nora Janssen from MPS Parents for a Fair Budget, along with MTEA President Ingrid Walker-Henry, to unpack the district’s $50 million budget shortfall — and why classroom staff, not contracts, are taking the hit. From slashed counselor hours to no-bid superintendent contracts, this conversation gets to the heart of what Milwaukee’s children deserve.
