ADVOCATES FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN

ASA is a non-partisan grassroots organization formed by area citizens who represent diverse interests and ideologies.

Some of us are parents, worried about the quality of our own children’s education.

Some of us are business leaders, concerned about the quality of our future work force.

While most of us own homes or businesses in Milwaukee, some of us live in the suburbs but understand that a healthy MPS is critical to the long-term success of Southeastern Wisconsin.

All of us are taxpayers, seeking a good return on the huge investment we already are making in MPS and looking for strong fiscal management to hold down future spending increases.

Our strongest common bond is a shared belief that all of Milwaukee’s children, regardless of where they live or their household income, have an equal right to an education that enables them to achieve their full potential.
