The building is already configured for two schools with separate offices, stairwells and classroom spaces. Students will likely be able to keep the same bell schedule. The site provides opportunities for dedicated outdoor play spaces for Lincoln Avenue students.District officials said other options either would not have kept the school community together or were located too far from the neighborhood. MPS officials also noted there are currently no vacant school buildings available on Milwaukees south side.Ayala acknowledged the emotional toll of the fire, which affected more than a century of school history and generations of families connected to Lincoln Avenue School.However, as we said from the beginning, a schools heart does not live within a building, and ours remains fully intact through our dedicated students, families and staff, Ayala wrote.Parents do not need to re-register children who attended Lincoln last year.Bussing will be provided, if needed.The school is also accepting new enrollments. The district said it will continue working with families and the broader community as plans move forward for next school year and the schools long-term future.In-person community meetings will be held at 9 a.m. Monday, July 13 and Tuesday, July 14 at the Rogers Street Academy Boys and Girls Club, 2404 W. Rogers Street, Milwaukee.
