Milwaukee Public Schools' High School Summer Program will be in session tomorrow despite the bus strike.

MPS released a statement:

MPS High School Summer Program families,

We regret to inform you that due to a job action involving the Milwaukee County Transit System, there will be no MCTS bus transportation Wednesday, July 1 or Thursday, July 2 for high school students in our summer programs. Our summer programs will be in session. We encourage parents and students to make plans to get students to school.

We are making alternative transportation plans should the job action continue beyond this week. That information will be sent to you this weekend. Please make sure your most recent contact information is on file with your child's summer program site. We'll provide more information as it becomes available.

Thank you for your support of Milwaukee Public Schools.
