School Fees

(Fox News) - The economic stimulus package passed by the House last week will give Milwaukee public schools more than $88 million for new construction. But the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the district has 15 vacant buildings — a large surplus of property — and no construction plans. The report says school enrollment is declining every year. And the last major construction in 2000, "resulted in projects that are underused, have not met enrollment projections or have closed."
