The superintendent of Milwaukee Public Schools has resigned with Wisconsin’s largest school district in jeopardy of losing millions of dollars in state funding after not submitting required financial reports

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.

Federal officials cited “deficiencies,” such as failure to supervise students in the early education and nutrition program for low-income children. 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.

Concerns came to light after the state Department of Public Instruction released a letter May 24 showing the district had not provided “key financial data,” despite numerous meetings with the state.
