Get Educated: Plan Commission Considers Walmart, State Superintendent Speaks At Monday Meetings

There’s a couple of interesting and sure-to-be-thought-provoking meetings plan for Monday night in South Milwaukee.

Unfortunately, they begin at 6 p.m., so attending both will be difficult.

  • First, the South Milwaukee Plan Commission is considering the site plan and zoning for the proposed Walmart development on north Chicago Avenue. Check out the agenda here.
  • Also, the Wisconsin Education Association Council is sponsoring an education forum — one of seven being held across the state into October — at the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center. State Superintendent Tony Evers is attending. Topics of discussion will include: school quality and accountability, community/parent involvement in schools, student progress, teaching quality and how programs and resources are distributed and used in the school system. Learn more in this New Kid’s View blog post.
I’m planning to (and kind of have to) attend the Plan Commission meeting. Please post comments below on how the school forum goes.
