Here’s a list of MPS schools that may face mergers or closures [Video]

MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Public Schools has released its Long Range Facilities Master Plan update ahead of the board meeting on Oct. 29.

Some schools could face mergers or closures in the coming years, as MPS tackles aging buildings and declining enrollment.

Cluster 1: -Brown Street Academy-Clarke Street Academy-Siefert School-Starms Discovery Learning Center

Cluster 2:-Auer Avenue School-Hopkins Llyod Community School-Jackson Elementary School

Cluster 3:-Dr. George Washington Carver Academy- Oliver Wendell Holmes School

Cluster 4:-Andrew S. Douglas Middle School-Keefe Avenue School-Robert M. LaFollette School

Cluster 5:-William T. Sherman School

MPS leaders stress that nothing in the latest progress report is final. Its purpose is to guide the district’s 10-year plan to improve how it serves students.

Leaders say any school initially considered for closure or merger is also a potential candidate for investment in programming and facilities.

Schools were divided based on factors including building condition, utilization, specialty programming, and geographic distribution.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
