Representatives from several Milwaukee-area groups gathered in Madison today to oppose legislation that would allow the city's mayor to choose the superintendent of Milwaukee Public Schools, said Bob Peterson of the Coalition to Stop the MPS Takeover.

Meanwhile, another group of organizations and individuals called Education Reform Now Advocacy headed to Madison today to try to advance SB 405, also known as the Milwaukee TEACH Act, said Katy Venskus, the state director of Democrats for Education Reform Wisconsin.
