Is a school just a building? Milwaukee suburb of New Berlin will decide.

For 22 months I facilitated a cohort of 11 teachers working to attain their master’s degree in curriculum and instruction. We met weekly at Glen Park Elementary School with seven of the eleven teachers in the cohort on staff at Glen Park.

You cannot find any teachers as skilled, hard working and dedicated to building community as these seven teachers. Closing Glen Park, dispersing students and staff would be a loss to New Berlin and public education. This is a high performing school whether compared to schools statewide or within New Berlin. It would be a travesty to lose this model program.

Fix the building and continue the Glen Park tradition!
