Overview

• An internal email to staff Tuesday stated that Bobbie Kelsey is no longer employed by Milwaukee Public Schools.
• Beginning Wednesday, Oct. 15, retired commissioner Bill Molbeck will assume additional day-to-day operational responsibilities previously handled by Kelsey.
• MPS confirmed Kelsey’s departure but declined to say whether she was fired or if the exit was voluntary.
• Kelsey’s office faced scrutiny in October 2024 after a paperwork failure with the WIAA led Bay View and Pulaski to forfeit wins and miss the football playoffs.
• TMJ4 investigations by reporter Jenna Rae found many coaches and referees were not being paid, with those workers later receiving pay months after the reports.
