Although it is lawful in WI to record conversations to which one is a party, even in the absence of consent of other parties, MPS rules prohibit the recording of workplace conversations- even by employees attending their own disciplinary hearings. This is for everyone's safety and protection.

We hope that everyone takes the fullest advantage over the winter holiday to relax, recharge, and practice not crying at work. A happy school is a smiling school. See you next year!

Sec. 19.36(7)(a), Stats. states we have to provide the public with names of superintendent candidates we are seriously considering if there are less than five candidates.

The gambling site taking bets on whether or not Director Jackson will be attending tomorrow's board meeting is not MPS affiliated. We do not and will not respond to calls asking for "odds".

Superintendent Search Update: We heard you loud and clear! Performance evaluations make everyone anxious, which is why we didn't use one with the last superintendent. The next superintendent will have to pinky promise to follow all laws, policies, and procedures! We will build back your trust!
