The imminent departure of Superintendent Walter Milton… and budget cuts that hit low-income and at-risk students… have drawn a harsh reaction from Springfield alderman Gail Simpson.
For the second time in three months, Simpson has blasted the school board for its actions, suggesting board members just don’t care about certain segments of the community.
She calls the ouster of Milton a sad day for Springfield… and says the closure of the college preparatory academy and two other schools are… quote… an indelible stain on the community.
