Colon: Good Pay Attracts Good Teachers
Rep. Colon blasted the motion to remove the residency requirement, saying the way to ensure quality teachers for MPS is to pay them.
He said the issue boils down to the suburbs around Milwaukee having lower property values than the city, and some teachers wish to remove the requirement so than can take advantage of that. But if pay were raised, he said, the teachers would wish to stay in Milwaukee to buy a home.
He also accused the Legislature of fouling MPS with its meddling. "Why is it everything that happens in Milwaukee educationally is constantly undermined by this Legislature?" he asked.
