Walton Family Foundation stepping back from Milwaukee education scene The foundation has given several million dollars a year to Milwaukee schools and education organizations.

According to Walton reports, in 2012 and 2013 combined, it gave $740,000 to Schools That Can Milwaukee, a nonprofit that works on innovation and improvement in all three major sectors (private, charters and Milwaukee Public Schools).

She called the Walton step “a wake-up call” for Milwaukee on the need for cooperation on school improvement. Walton will make few, if any, new grants to schools or school networks here.

The statement from foundation spokeswoman Daphne Davis Moore said, “We remain committed to Milwaukee families and are transitioning our focus to improve the environment at the state level in Wisconsin to allow families to have access to more high quality school options.”

Translate that as involvement in Madison in promoting parental choice in general, school accountability aimed at closing or making major changes in low-success schools, and probably “recovery district” ideas that would make more MPS schools into charters.

Howard Fuller, the Milwaukee choice advocate, has had a close relationship with Walton, and organizations he is involved with have received Walton grants.

The Walton decision comes at a time when there are some positive indications of cooperation among the often-warring factions in Milwaukee education.

Abigail Schumwinger, who was the Walton representative in Milwaukee until a month ago, said she is beginning to work for a group developing a fund that will make start-up and capital grants to private schools.

A proposed $1 million initiative hopes to bridge the gap between foster care and employment for one of Brown County’s most vulnerable populations.

Nearly 40 percent of the young people who age out of foster care end up homeless, according to a 2012 U.S. A couple have unfortunately ended up in the legal system a in jail and prison a which is unfortunate,” Hanchett said.

Most foster graduates fall off the grid.

The workforce development board has a data management system ideal for tracking them and making sure they get help when they need it, Valiquette said.

By partnering with social services agencies, the board can connect with these young adults before they’re on their own, he said.

“We’ve created an onramp through this partnership by funneling kids into this program who are at risk and putting them on the path (to employment),” he said.

Gainesville is fortunate that law enforcement officers and community members are working together to close divisions | Gainesville.com

Gainesville is fortunate that law enforcement officers and community members are working together to close divisions.

Cheer: The Gainesville Police Department and groups such as the River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding for working to address disproportionate arrests of minority youths.

The efforts include the sessions where officers and young people can discuss their perceptions of one another.

Jeer: The developer of the Finley Woods subdivision, Tommy Williams Homes, for subjecting Arredondo residents to spotty mail, school bus route changes and a lack of access to their own driveways.

Area drivers were also given scant notice that parts of Southwest 62nd Avenue/63rd Boulevard were being closed to traffic for more than a month.

Cheer: Dancing mom Bonnie Northsea for giving birth to a nine-pound baby boy last week.

The Gainesville native became an Internet sensation in recent weeks for a video she recorded of herself in Gator gear doing the zombie-style dance from “Thriller,” hoping it would encourage labor.

Cheer and Jeer: The Gainesville City Commission gets a cheer for directing staff to prepare to open the Paynes Prairie Sheetflow Restoration Project, but a jeer goes to all involved parties for the fact that it will only be open on weekends for the rest of the fiscal year.

The project has been years in the making and figuring out how to provide week-long access should have been sorted out long ago.

Cheer: The Wagmore Foundation for its $1.3 million gift to the Community Foundation of North Florida.

The money will help the Alachua County animal shelter become a no-kill facility.
