2026-27 School Meal Survey

Food Program, Surveys food program, parents, school breakfast, school lunch, survey 0

One of the main goals of the Alliance since our founding has been to make sure that all SDW students have enough good quality food to eat so that they’re ready to learn. Now that we’re about a month into the 2026-27 school year, we’d like to hear from YOU about your experiences with school meals. We’ve put together a brief survey to collect information to better inform our advocacy. Please take a few minutes to answer the questions, and share the survey widely so that we get as many responses as possible!

Waukesha School Board Member Eric Brooks Infringes on First Amendment

Alliance Statements Eric Brooks, politics, rights, school board, transparency 0

Eric Brooks is more interested in playing politics and infringing on the rights of Americans than he is serving the students and families in Waukesha. With this in mind, the Alliance for Education in Waukesha views Brooks as unfit to serve on the school board and calls on him to resign.

This election was a strong signal that grassroots candidates, representing our local interests, can win, despite tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of dark money from national groups trying to buy seats for candidates who support their agendas. We hope that this inspires more community members to consider running for school board next April.
