The superintendent of Milwaukee Public Schools resigned Tuesday, with Wisconsin's largest school district in jeopardy of losing millions of dollars in state funding after not submitting required financial reports to the state. Keith Posley, a former teacher who has been superintendent since 2018, resigned hours after a public hearing at which more than 100 parents, school district staff members and community members called for his ouster, Wisconsin Public Radio reported.
Milwaukee is the state’s largest school district with about 68,000 students. “We want you gone. No more playing games,” resident Elizabeth Brown said during Monday's meeting calling for Posley's removal. Complaints went beyond the current crisis, calling into question the board and administration’s decisions about spending and staffing, about communication with families, and about students’ poor academic performance. The school board accepted Posley's resignation around 2 a.m.
