Meet the people behind student success

Students, families, and surrounding community members in the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) district lacked safe, affordable, and inclusive fitness opportunities to improve their physical and mental health. 

Balancing taxpayer expectations and school and student needs, school leaders turned to cooperative purchasing to procure quality products at an affordable cost.

In the words of Sartell Superintendent Jeff Schwiebert, “Taxpayers would like to pay as little as possible and, at the same time, get as good of a quality as we can.”

To get the best of both, he turned to government partner Sourcewell.
