MPS School Board chief rebuts mayoral takeover plan - JSOnline:
"Duncan has been a strong advocate of mayoral control of urban schools, and Doyle and Barrett said last week that they believe the change in governance in Milwaukee will put the state in a better position to compete for Duncan's Race to the Top dollars.
Wisconsin state law prohibits using student test data to evaluate teacher performance - an immediate disqualifier according to the proposed application guidelines for Race to the Top grants."
