Report casts doubts on MMAC's recovery districts presentations

The Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce - which has in the past supported stripping the elected school board of its power and drawing away funding from Milwaukee Public Schools to pay for private and religious school vouchers - sponsored a pair of PowerPoint presentations on education that were shown to its members in August. These slideshows touted the so-called "recovery districts" in New Orleans and Memphis and suggest to me that rumors that the group is pushing the recovery district idea for Milwaukee are true.
