Erika Siemsen, who was first elected to the Board in April 2019, previously served the district as an elementary educator for over 30 years. She had leadership roles as a member of the Governance Council, in PBIS, in teacher training, and in the implementation of Mindfulness and was a representative for the Milwaukee Teachers Education Association. Erika's years of service to the district were grounded in literacy education, restorative practices, and creating a learning environment that was welcoming to all. Erika graduated from UW-Milwaukee with a B.A. in elementary education and later received her Masters of Arts degree from Cardinal Stritch University in the area of literacy reform.
Erika is from a family of three generations of MPS, and she is MPS proud! She lives in the Washington Heights area with her husband and two dogs.
