This report was produced by the 2030 Task Force. The findings presented here are grounded in public records, state audits, internal communications, academic data, and firsthand accounts. The comparative national analysis is based on a structured five-dimension rubric designed to assess systemic governance failure in U.S. public school districts. 

Scoring methodology, source documentation, and literature references are provided in the accompanying Methodology and Literature Review Supplement, developed in partnership with the Marquette S-Lab in a research support capacity. The S-Lab’s involvement reflects academic rigor; all findings and conclusions are the responsibility of the 2030 Task Force.

This report is not intended as a political statement. It is a governance indictment grounded in evidence—and a call to action on behalf of students, staff, and the Wauwatosa community.

The pace of developments across the district has been intense. On a weekly basis, the 2030 Task Force delivers The Tosa Ledger to provide you with a clear, weekly roundup of actions, alerts, and stories that matter. Forward freely. Act boldly.
