A tangential issue .. As posted above, Cardinal Stritch's property was sold and is the future home of St. Augustine Prep (north) .. a K-12 private school. 

They are investing $100m into razing most of the campus, and rebuilding a new school.  One would assume the campus will be amazing, with new classrooms, labs, lunch rooms, gyms, fields. 

As their south campus is part of the Milwaukee Choice/voucher program, the north campus will certainly be primarily voucher students as well, which accepts families under 220% of the poverty level, around $50-80k depending on family size.

Naturally, those students come from some other districts, reducing their enrollments.   This probably isn't an issue for Bayside, Fox Point, WFB.   But .. I think Glendale is going to be in serious trouble.  Hundreds will opt to send their kids to a gorgeous new private voucher school right in their own city.   Glendale only has ~950 students, so any losses will be painful.

(Obviously Milwaukee too, but that's not a new issue for them.)

Adding to Glendale's pain is their current financial catastrophe.

From The Athletic:

Miami Heat president Pat Riley — while maintaining he does not want to trade his franchise superstar — admonished Jimmy Butler yesterday, after Butler was seen in a video saying both the Celtics and Knicks would be “home” if he’d been healthy enough to play. “If you’re not on the court playing against Boston, if you’re not on the court playing against the New York Knicks,” Riley said, “you should keep your mouth shut in your criticism of those teams.”

Encouraged by the current administration where there are no punishments for your actions, hey?

Interesting to me that this is the first post 9-11 generation on campus.

Right. And therefore view our intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan with a very different mindset.
