Charter school group sued MPS, then decided to stay. It’s all about the money. By Terry Falk - Aug 3rd, 2021 03:01 pm //end headline wrapper ?>School classroom. (Pixabay License). Milwaukee College Prep (MCP) charter schools told the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) that it wanted out. It was terminating its charter with the district; the letter of termination would be received by the Milwaukee school board at its July 29 meeting. In the end, MCP stayed with MPS. It all came down to money.  MCP’s existing contract stated that it was to receive additional funding based upon academic performance of its students. MCP received an additional $650 per student for the 2019-2020 academic year, over $1.72 million. But MPS said it couldn’t give the additional money for this past year because there were no standardized tests given during the pandemic; there was no performance data.
