Milwaukee Public Schools to hold leadership meetings

Milwaukee Public Schools will host two community forums on Thursday to introduce the three finalists for the superintendent position. The candidates are Brenda Cassellius, former superintendent of Boston Public Schools; Joshua Starr, former superintendent of Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland; and Andrae Townsel, current superintendent of Calvert County Public Schools in Maryland. Each candidate will present their vision and goals for the district, followed by a Q&A session moderated by leaders from HYA, the superintendent search firm. Community members can provide feedback via a QR code after the presentations. The school board aims to make a decision by late February or early March, with the new superintendent’s contract expected to begin on July 1.
