Abstract:

Mary Bills papers, 1969-2011 (bulk 1975-1997), consisting primarily of materials spanning Bills' tenure as a member and president of board of directors of Milwaukee (Wisconsin) Public Schools (1985-1997), and her time with the Metropolitan Integration Research Center (1975-1985), during which time Milwaukee schools desegregated under court order and the state enacted Chapter 220, designed to facilitate voluntary integration. School choice, vouchers, redistricting, charter schools, early childhood education, all-day kindergarten, school closings, and school violence are addressed through materials from the MPS board, Metropolitan Research Integration Center, conferences Bills attended, and other writings. Also includes video and audio recordings documenting appearances by Mary Bills and others addressing school issues.
