MPS board votes to keep Daniel Webster Secondary School open

MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee Public School set to close their doors will remain open. The Milwaukee Board of School Directors voted unanimously on the decision late Thursday, August 31st.

The school board voted to keep Daniel Webster Secondary School open, but some students will still be transitioned to other schools.

The board voted to keep sixth, seventh and eighth graders at Webster for the school year that begins on Tuesday. High school students, however, will be sent to other MPS facilities.

Parents of Webster sixth, seventh and eighth graders who previously picked new schools for their children when they though Webster was closing, will still have the option of attending the new school.
