A Wisconsin school district is in hot water for closing a successful STEM charter for the alleged purpose of “racial balancing.”
The Wauwatosa School District (WSD) board voted on Monday to close a STEM charter school – called WSTEM – despite parental objections and warnings the action could be unconstitutional.
“This program is a success,” said Stephen Mayer, whose grandson attends the charter. “From everything I’ve heard and every person I’ve talked to, it’s a success.
“They shouldn’t shut it down. They should expand it.”
WSTEM has much higher ratings than the Wauwatosa district overall.
