MPS Potential Changes coming to Immersion Schools.
MPS is holding a meeting at the Milwaukee School of Languages (MSL) Monday, May 18th 5:30-7:30pm to discuss potential changes to the immersion programs. They want to change immersion schools from K-5 to K-6, making MSL a 7-12 school. This plan would have a huge negative impact on all immersion schools, but particularly MSL and Milwaukee German Immersion (MGIS). MGIS does not currently have the space to house 6th grade and moving us from our neighborhood school building will affect the entire community. Many people purchase homes in the neighborhood surrounding MGIS and this could have a negative impact on property values too. The current superintendent is not a fan of "specialty schools".
I have attached more information about the potential risks to MGIS and MSL in this email. If you have children attending any of the immersion schools or could in the future please join us at this meeting.
