Milwaukee School Board Fractured Representation
A Race For Half
of Riverwest
The upcoming April 5 election for Milwaukee School Board members is potentially confusing to Riverwesters. Like our representation on the City Council, our representation on the School Board is split between two officials.
The northern part of our neighborhood, which includes La Escuela Fratney at 3255 N. Fratney St. and Gaenslen K-8 School at 1250 E. Burleigh St., is in District 3, represented by Kenneth L. Johnson, whose term expires in April 2007.
