MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Public Schools District could avoid having to make some previously planned teacher layoffs next year.

The MPS Board approved a budget Thursday night of more than $976 million.

That budget includes an extra $20 million for teacher positions and staffings.

The district saved $10 million because of contract negotiations.
