The Milwaukee School District’s committee accepted the semiannual report on limited‑term employees (LTEs) covering July through December 2025. Superintendent Brenda Cassellius said administration has instituted a gradual pause on LTE approvals and will approve only roles essential to complete the FY26 school year while it develops clearer criteria for future LTE hires.
"We have implemented a gradual pause, approving only positions that are essential to ensure the successful completion of the FY26 school year," Cassellius said. The item was noticed for possible action but was presented as informational; no formal action was required beyond acceptance of the report.
Administration said it will continue to refine its processes and criteria for LTE approvals as part of broader FY27 planning and finance‑control work.
