Rather than Kicking the Can Down the Road, the School Board Should Drop Plans to Evict Carmen<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

The News:\u00a0<\/b>In an\u00a0agenda posted last week<\/a><\/u>, the Milwaukee Public School (MPS) Board indicated that they will delay their plans to evict two Carmen Charter Schools campuses from their buildings until October 2024. The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) and other education advocates have previously stated that evicting the charter school would be bad for students and Milwaukee taxpayers alike.<\/p>\n

With the MPS Board set to delay consideration of evicting Carmen Schools until October, WILL\u00a0released a new analysis<\/a><\/u>\u00a0today that highlights the unfeasibility of one Board Member\u2019s claims that a new home can be found for Carmen students. Low-occupancy and vacant buildings in MPS are located primarily on the northside of the city\u2014far from where Carmen\u2019s students reside on the southside. No single southside school has the space to accommodate the 1,138 students that would be displaced by this proposed eviction.<\/p>\n

The Quote:\u00a0<\/b>WILL Research Director, Will Flanders, noted, \u201cMPS should avoid another disaster and completely drop its plans to evict Carmen Charter. Not only would it be a huge negative for families and MPS\u2019s finances, evicting this charter school is simply unfeasible and nothing more than an ideological attack on parental choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Background:<\/b>\u00a0In April, the MPS School Board began the process to consider forcing Carmen Schools to\u00a0leave two buildings<\/a><\/u>\u00a0that it currently rents from the district. Carmen runs a network of charter schools that historically have been some of the highest-performing schools in the district.\u00a0The agenda<\/a><\/u>\u00a0for the Board meeting suggests that Director Zombor\u2014who initially proposed the eviction of Carmen\u2014will make a motion to hold this item until October.<\/p>\n

Previous research<\/a><\/u>\u00a0from WILL found that MPS would lose over $2.2 million in annual funding from Carmen schools if they moved forward with eviction and deauthorizing the two schools.<\/p>\n
