Hard-working teachers help Greenfield students excel | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
(Photo by Tessa Fox)
Greenfield Bilingual School, like the other six schools in the study conducted by Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service, is having the greatest success with a subset of students: those who’ve mastered two languages.
Ninety-three percent of Greenfield’s 373 students are Hispanic, and 43 percent are classified as ELL.
As Maria Sanchez, longtime principal at Greenfield put it, eventually most ELL students will “break the code” and enter all-English classrooms if they choose to do so.
Of 71 students who were formerly in ELL classes (Level 6), 96 percent were proficient in reading and 93 percent were proficient in math on state standardized tests in 2009-10. That compares to 73 percent proficient in reading and 68 percent proficient in math for those who were always English speakers (Level 7).
No single reason explains the difference in achievement levels between ELL and non-ELL students. But according to Maria Gonzalez-Nunez, who teaches fourth grade at Greenfield and has been at the school for 10 years, the main reason is the rigorous curriculum and standards that ELL teachers set for their students in order for them to maintain fluency in both languages.
“We have a very hard-working staff here and we make sure to articulate to the kids that they need not just to be bilingual but also not to be choppy and speak the languages clearly,” Gonzalez-Nunez said.
Gonzalez-Nunez teaches in room 32C, surrounded by 18 smiling faces. On this day she is teaching reading lessons in Spanish. She focuses on seven principles: comprehension, fluency, phonics, spelling, grammar, vocabulary and writing. Next week she will teach reading in English.
Gonzalez-Nunez teaches math a little differently than reading. She spends the first half of the year teaching math in Spanish and the second half teaching it in English. She says that her teaching schedule is based on guidelines set by the district.
One of the many challenges she faces is having students of all English proficiency levels in the same classroom. She points out one child who is newer to the country and the language than most of her students.
He’s picking up the language quickly, said Gonzalez-Nunez. “He’s beginning to communicate more and talk to his peers in English,” she added.
Like Gonzalez-Nunez, 6th grade teacher Luis Lopez said that he spends countless hours preparing lesson plans that accommodate students of varying levels of English proficiency, including some who were born in the U.S. but speak Spanish at home and others who have just arrived from Mexico or the Dominican Republic.
Lopez, who was born in Puerto Rico and has taught at Greenfield since 2000, has a teaching degree and bilingual certificate from Carroll University in Waukesha, with a master’s degree in administrative leadership from UWM.
“This year budget cuts have left me without a helper most of the time, so I teach all subjects; I literally feel like I split myself in ten,” Lopez said.
“There is no magic solution,” he added, “but if the parent gets involved you can take giant steps towards helping a student become proficient.”
But there is no way to control what happens outside of school. For example, poverty and parents who are unable to help their children add to the challenges, said Gonzalez-Nunez, who was born in Mexico, as were her parents.
“I know the feeling of not being able to be helped at home,” she said.
Greenfield offers English classes for parents of its students.

How service agencies work, from inside and out | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
This special report focuses on eight agencies that provide services to neighborhood residents in a variety of communities. For each agency, NNS told the story from a service provider’s viewpoint and from a service recipient’s viewpoint. Students from Marquette’s Diederich College of Communication created the pieces under the supervision of Prof. Herbert Lowe and NNS Editor Sharon McGowan.
Organizations include (follow link for first story of the pair) Our Next Generation, Urban Ecology Center, Artworks for Milwaukee, Centro Legal, Next Door Foundation, Select Milwaukee, Milwaukee Habitat For Humanity, and COA Youth & Family Center.

Online news service to cover community issues | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
For more information: Sharon McGowan, Project Director and Editor
smcgowan@milwaukeenns.org • 414-604-NEWS (6397)
For immediate release
March 21, 2011
MILWAUKEE — A new multimedia website that provides objective, professional reporting on urban issues in five Milwaukee communities launches today at www.milwaukeenns.org. The pilot communities are Lindsay Heights, Clarke Square, and the Layton Boulevard West neighborhoods of Burnham Park, Silver City and Layton Park.
Media outlets are free to use articles, videos, audio reports and photographs from the website at no cost, with credit to the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service.
The site also includes interactive Community Pages geared to each neighborhood, where residents and organizations can find information on upcoming events and submit content on local activities and issues.
Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service (NNS) offers comprehensive coverage of issues such as education, public safety, economic development, health and wellness, recreation, employment, youth development and housing that are important to the people who live and work in the five neighborhoods.
NNS is a project of United Neighborhood Centers of Milwaukee. According to Tony Shields, its executive director, “The news service provides an opportunity for the wider Milwaukee community to learn more about the neighborhoods, and for neighborhood leaders to learn from one another’s experiences.”
Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service already has garnered significant community support. The Diederich College of Communication at Marquette University is partnering with NNS by providing training, equipment and a multimedia editor. The newsroom is housed at the college, and internships are available to students. Diederich Dean Lori Bergen is a member of the NNS editorial advisory board
“Our purpose is to tell a balanced story about successes and challenges in bringing new vitality to these historic neighborhoods,” said Editor and Project Director Sharon McGowan. “We will follow stories such as the Longfellow School/Journey House partnership in Clarke Square, the upcoming changes at North Division High School in Lindsay Heights and community planning efforts underway in Silver City, Burnham Park and Layton Park,” McGowan added.
“People who care about the city and understand its importance to the region will want to bookmark this site,” said author and historian John Gurda, a member of the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service editorial advisory board.
Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service is supported in part by a grant from the Zilber Family Foundation.

MPS Board of Directors candidate Abbie Fishman | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
(Photo provided by Abbie Fishman)
I am running for a seat on the MPS School Board because I cannot sit idly by while the children in our community do not receive the education they deserve.
My child attended and graduated from Milwaukee Public Schools as did my husband and my father. I taught in MPS for 30 years in a variety of positions. Most of that time was spent as an Advanced Placement literature and composition teacher at Riverside University High School. I served as literacy coach there and at another school also. I finished my career as an advanced academic coach traveling throughout the district supporting Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and gifted and talented programs, teachers and students. My office was located at Central Office, which allowed me to observe how district business is conducted and decisions are made.
I have lived in the school board’s 5th District for forty years. I love that it is organically diverse from the lake to the freeway.
These experiences ground me in my pursuit of a seat on the MPS School Board. I have firsthand experiences of what is good about MPS and continue to be challenged by what needs to improve. Building on my life as a parent and teacher I know that I can continue to positively impact the lives of Milwaukee’s children and community as their elected voice in MPS.
The most glaring problem in Milwaukee Public Schools is the shortage of certified, qualified, anti-racist, invested teaching staff. I know firsthand that teaching is a stressful and challenging profession with little appreciation and inadequate compensation. Nonetheless, I cannot imagine a more rewarding career. Working with young people, hearing their naive perspectives and analysis of the world keeps a teacher young and always thinking. MPS must adjust its compensation policy so that those who make the highest salaries make a little less in order for new teachers to earn more. It is untenable that teachers have to work additional jobs just to make ends meet.
Another problem MPS has to deal with is competition from charter, choice and voucher schools. These programs are not available to every child. They siphon public school money away from MPS, choose the easiest students to enroll in their schools, and leave the most expensive and difficult learners for MPS to educate with reduced funding. Policy says that these schools are not required to have licensed teachers. So they do not have experts in education working with their students. When these schools determine that a child is a problem they send them back to MPS. Frequently, these students are not performing at grade level and MPS ends up bearing the blame for their poor test scores and inability to graduate on time. By segregating who can and cannot attend, these charter, choice and voucher schools deny all students the opportunity to be exposed to a plurality of ideas, beliefs, histories, cultures, races and dynamics. This plurality is the foundation of our community and our democracy. Charter, choice and voucher schools need to be held to the same standards and requirements as MPS or eliminated altogether.
This last issue I am going to address is the physical infrastructure of MPS and relates to the old school buildings in District 5. In what other profession would you find 1,600 people in one building without air conditioning in April, May, June, August or September? It is unsafe for schools to reopen in MPS because they are already unsafe. Not all schools are handicap accessible — a discriminatory practice. Furniture is broken or too small for teachers or students to use. Lighting is inadequate. Windows have no screens. Soap dispensers are broken or empty. Cloth towels are not replaced as often as needed. ”Out of Order” signs stay posted on lav doors, copy machines and elevators for unreasonable periods of time. Maybe some of these things have been addressed while schools have been closed? Still, MPS has deferred maintenance and improvements on its buildings for too long. Some ways to solve the teacher shortage include paying teachers reasonable salaries, providing them with mentoring, coaching and ongoing support when they need it, and implementing maximum class sizes of 29, which will attract teachers to MPS and encourage them to build their careers in the district. Voucher and charter schools were supposed to be competition to MPS, but MPS has declined the challenge. MPS must step up and commit every staff member, every department, every school site, every dollar to providing every student with the highest quality, most innovative, 21st Century education available in Wisconsin. The solution to updating buildings in MPS is easy and not open to debate. Costs may be deferred by offering students apprenticeships with tradespeople working to improve the physical environments of our schools.
I am not at all satisfied with the district’s efforts here. All they have done is give dispassionate lip service to a truly egregious problem. The steps MPS is taking do nothing to shut its tap on the school-to-prison pipeline. I believe the steps I elucidate below will result in noticeable change in MPS and our larger community:
No. Having sat through the board meeting where they came to this decision, I think they came to it without considering factors such as how close reopening is to the end of the school year for high schools, bus safety, and managing students. Moving forward, many students and teachers are being treated for chronic ailments like asthma, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, which exacerbate the effects of COVID-19. Schools must be entirely disinfected and air circulation must be guaranteed before filling them with people again after rates of infection significantly decline. Additionally, to prevent outbreaks of any illnesses, lavatories must always have soap and clean towels at the ready. Classroom capacities need to be reconsidered so that students can sit at a reasonable distance from each other. If teachers are going to be responsible for cleaning their classrooms, then they can no longer be expected to help manage the halls between classes. Schools might consider one-way halls and stairways to limit contact. MPS will need to work with transportation contractors to ensure that buses are disinfected and students can be seated at reasonable distances from each other. These protocols will require increased staffing and resources. Funding will have to be designated to support these improvements. MPS needs to continue planning for reopening but should not set a date until the rates of infection have significantly decreased, the rates of vaccinations have significantly increased, and every aspect of safety has been addressed from hallways to classrooms, from cafeterias to buses and beyond.

MPS Board of Directors Candidate Aisha Carr | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
Why are you running for school board?
I am running because representation matters. With over 80% of the MPS student body population identifying as black and brown youth who reflect diversity in age, generation and culture, it is my belief that in order to adequately provide each student with a high quality educational experience, we must deliver quality instruction from the lens of which each student can closely identify with. The lens of the youth and communities that MPS serves embodies the lived social, economic, historical, and cultural context in which they more closely identify with. Further, it is important that the Milwaukee School Board represent every aspect of the children, families and communities that they serve. I represent youth, teachers, families and communities not only in the fourth School district but the entire Milwaukee community, and it is that reason why I have decided to run again for Milwaukee School Board District 4 — because representation matters and if it is academic, social, emotional and economic excellence is what we are trying to achieve, we must fight to ensure that leadership is representing those being served!
For almost six years, I served as a Special Education and English co-teacher in Milwaukee Public Schools. During that time, I led two district-wide piloted initiatives — the Black Lives Matter resolution to train, promote and teach equity and inclusion, and the Restorative Practice program to encourage leaders, educators and students to understand and resolve conflict and adversity in any capacity. Prior to becoming an Educator, I served as a Community Learning Center Director with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee in the same school that I would later teach at. I’ve worked as a Legislative Staffer on Capitol Hill for former Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold, and have worked with youth and young adults nationwide in other capacities. I have a bachelor’s degree in social work, one master’s degree in educational leadership and policy analysis and another in urban special education while completing a two-year service commitment for Teach for America Milwaukee region. Lastly, I am the proud single mother of a school-age MPS student and a former member of the Milwaukee Teachers’ Education Association. Furthermore, each and every one of my life’s experiences has been rooted in education, youth development, service and community. My personal and professional educational experiences reflect my life’s principles and values and have equipped me with the knowledge, skills and resources necessary to be successful in my future role as a Milwaukee School Board Director, representing students and families in District 4 and beyond.
To name a few, some of the most important issues facing the board and District 4 in particular are: COVID-19 reopening plan; racial/social/academic/economic disparities impacting students throughout the city; the recruitment and retention of Black and Brown educators; overworked, under-resourced, under-compensated educators; underutilization and vacancy of MPS buildings; inequitable funding; increased accountability for the District’s traditional and charter schools; punitive disciplinary policies; support for  culturally responsive curriculums, etc. Simply put, there’s so many important issues facing the district and that is why representation is needed to ensure these issues are being brought to the attention of key stakeholders, students, families, educators and communities who are all in positions to change the narrative and create high quality educational and social experiences for all students throughout the District.
I am not satisfied with the District efforts to address the disproportionate discipline of Black male students. In order to create a more equitable, racially just and restorative district, the district must practice consistency, urgency and transparency in its deliverance of equity and inclusion trainings, policies, practices as well as progress monitoring. It’s a step in a positive direction to lay out plans for racially equitable, inclusive and restorative disciplinary practices, however, it’s another thing to actually implement those named practices throughout the district, holding each and every professional accountable to those policies and procedures.
It is my belief that school should remain virtual for the remainder of the 2020-21 academic school year. Instead of having students back for a month of instruction, putting everyone at risks for contracting the COVID-19 virus, this time should be spent revising each school’s budget, allocating funding to train educators, support staff, administrators, students and families for extensive, rigorous, high quality summer and fall academic instruction. For some, the resources will be present to provide quality academic enrichment support thus keeping those students on a trajectory for academic success. For others, a strategic plan of action will be necessary to address the academic skill deficiencies pre-and-post COVID-19. In order to meet the needs of every student, a solid plan of action is needed and I am unclear. I am not confident that the District has developed that just yet.

MPS Board of Directors candidate Alex Brower | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service

I am running for School Board to bring the transformative change we need to Milwaukee’s public schools. Our public schools here in Milwaukee are under attack from privatization, systemic racism, and underfunding. As an experienced MPS educator, former union president and active community leader, I have defied the skeptics to win real gains for our community. I have the experience, vision and drive to fight for the schools that our students and community deserve.
As president of the substitute teachers’ union, I won health-care benefits for many substitute teachers by engaging in a 21-day hunger strike. We also defeated efforts to privatize our jobs to a temp agency, and I organized volunteers to knock on hundreds of doors to win a historic school funding referendum.
As an active community leader, I am the executive director of the Wisconsin Alliance for Retired Americans, a member of Citizen Action of Wisconsin’s Southeast WI Steering Committee, treasurer of the Milwaukee Democratic Socialists of America, and a leader in the movement for a Green New Deal. As an MPS substitute teacher, I built a strong reputation as a high quality educator, teaching students across this city for over six years.
I’m running to fight back against privatization and threats to public education, and drawing from my experience as an educator and community leader, I will work to ensure MPS provides for the needs of its students, faculty, staff and community.
Housing and food insecurity, lack of access to health care, climate change and environmental racism, poverty and police violence are all social problems that show up in our classrooms as behavioral issues, achievement gaps and lack of resources and funding. The root cause of these problems is racial capitalism, with the richest among us hoarding their wealth and not paying their fair share, while the vast majority of people are forced to live paycheck to paycheck. The only way for every human being to truly realize their potential is through a new, more just form of social and economic organization: socialism. I am running on a Milwaukee Democratic Socialists of America endorsed slate with Dana Kelley, who is running in District 4. Dana and I will be the first socialists elected to office in Milwaukee since 1958, and Dana will be the first woman of color socialist elected in Milwaukee’s history. I am running as a democratic socialist to help bring about a more just society, and I will help bring about this systemic change by fighting for bold changes in our schools. Specifically, as a School Board Director I will fight for public schools against the threat of privatization, create a Green New Deal for MPS and ensure healthy school environments, stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter at School, champion the struggle of MPS workers, and democratize education by opening up school decision-making to all stakeholders — parents, students, school faculty and staff, and community members.
I would change the district’s approach. There is more that the district can do to improve the educational and disciplinary outcomes for Black males in our schools. The majority of our students are students of color, and we need to do a better job of preparing our young men of color for a meaningful life after high school, rather than over-policing them. I want to see the district embrace anti-racist professional development for all employees and especially for school personnel. Anti-racist practices must become the norm. Also, ending the chronic staffing issues at MPS will help to improve disciplinary and achievement outcomes because a more stable workforce means more continuity and stability for students. In addition, I will stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter at School organization, which has four demands: 1) end “zero tolerance” discipline, and implement restorative justice, 2) hire more Black teachers, 3) mandate Black history and ethnic studies in K-12 curriculum, and 4) fund counselors, not cops. I will work to implement these demands. I will also publicly call out the structural racism of the state school funding formula, and advocate for more resources for working-class majority people of color districts like MPS. We must do a better job, and this is the place to start.
I agree with the decision to keep instruction mostly virtual, and I would support going back to 100% virtual if possible. Every life is important, and I will oppose MPS engaging in reckless behavior with human lives like the suburbs and private schools have been doing. I believe Black Lives Matter, and so I will not be cavalier with the lives of our Black and Brown students and their families by encouraging a premature reopening of schools, which could expose them to the COVID-19 virus. I will oppose any reopening until 1) vaccines are widely available to students, staff and their families, 2) we have free, widely available, and mandatory PPE for anyone entering an MPS building, 3) there is a significant reduction in cases, and 4) we can practice social distancing with smaller class sizes. The push to reopen schools is a result of the problems of capitalism: Workers are being forced to go in to work during a pandemic and they lack child care. Capitalism is killing people, and instead this country should be supporting families. As a school board director and Socialist, I will advocate for all Americans to be paid to stay home if they wish, which will allow parents to focus on supporting their child’s virtual education. We must adopt drastic measures to combat this pandemic.
