History
In August 2022 the school district established a new curriculum for sex education.[2]
In October 2022 Beck Andrew Salgado of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote that the "stability" of the district was damaged by political pressures and by some fights that occurred on campuses.[3]
In late October 2022 members of Moms for Liberty and other right wing groups went to a meeting of the board of trustees, and police intervened.[4]
