Today on Lake Effect, we tell you about the Milwaukee Public Schools referendum and look at a report that questions whether the money is really needed. Then, we learn about a program that’s helping promote water safety throughout Milwaukee. Plus, we go behind-the-scenes at the Milwaukee Public Museum as it prepares to pack up the more than 4 million items in its collections. We close with an update on planetarium laser shows.
