Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) is the largest school district in Wisconsin. As of the 2013–14 school year, MPS served 78,502 students in 165 schools and had 9,282 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff positions. The Milwaukee Public Schools system is the one of the largest in the United States by enrollment. A publicly elected school board, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors, provides direction and oversight, with a superintendent heading the organization's administration.
Milwaukee Public Schools' offerings include neighborhood schools, specialty schools and charter schools serving students as young as age 3 up through grade 12.
State school in various countries, including Australia, Canada, Scotland, and the United States; a school funded with tax revenue and administered by a government or governmental agency (in contrast to a private school)
Public school (United Kingdom), a group of around 10% of the fee-charging independent schools in the United Kingdom which are considered especially prestigious
Public school (India), a group of historically elite fee-charging privately owned and managed schools in India
Public university, in some countries, e.g. the United States, any university operated by the state, as opposed to being a private enterprise
In the United Kingdom, a public school is an older, exclusive and expensive fee-paying independentsecondary school, located in England or Wales, which caters primarily for children aged between 13 and 18. Traditionally, public schools were all-male boarding schools, although most now allow day pupils, and many have turned either partially or fully co-educational.
Public schools emerged from charity schools established to educate poor scholars, the term "public" being used to indicate that access to them was not restricted on the basis of religion, occupation, or home location, and that they were subject to public management or control, in contrast to private schools which were run for the personal profit of the proprietors.
The first Europeans to pass through the area were French Catholic missionaries and fur traders. In 1818, the French Canadian explorer Solomon Juneau settled in the area, and in 1846 Juneau's town combined with two neighboring towns to incorporate as the City of Milwaukee. Large numbers of German and other immigrants helped increase the city's population during the 1840s and the following decades.
The Milwaukee Union Station was dedicated on August 3, 1965 by the Milwaukee Road to replace their previous Everett Street Depot. The Chicago and North Western Railroad closed their Milwaukee station (Lake Front Depot) and moved their passenger operations to the new Milwaukee Road depot in 1966. The depot was built on West St. Paul Avenue in a modernistic style that proved unpopular quickly after it was erected.

Milwaukee Public Schools is facing one of its worst teacher shortages
As families across the U.S. prepare for a new school year, Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) is facing one of its worst teacher shortages in recent years.
Lukas Wierer is a Milwaukee Public Schools teacher.
Going into his 16th year, Wierer teaches social studies at Riverside University High School and says this recent teacher shortage isn’t the first.
“But I think what makes this time unique is that it's starting to affect more people. It's starting to affect people outside of urban settings and as a result, it's becoming something we talk about,” said Wierer.
