MPS Proposing Job Cuts

from Wisconsin's Midday News

MMAC Senior Advisor Tim Sheehy talks about how while facing a reported $46M budget deficit, the MPS Superintendent is proposing a reduction of 263 jobs, none of them teaching positions. Is this a necessary step, and how will it affect students and taxpayers? Much of the news in Wisconsin is focused on the siting of data centers, but little of it on the use case for AI, this week UWM’s Co-Innovation lab shared a series of stories on how Wisconsin companies were using and benefiting from AI-what did we learn? Meanwhile, a new survey by staffing agency Robert Half has some interesting results about remote, in office, and hybrid work trends, including in Milwaukee, what are the highlights?
