Officials with the Madison Metropolitan School District are revealing new recommendations on how to close the achievement gap in city schools.

Superintendent Dan Nerad said the new plan, which includes a focus on improving literacy, the expansion of AVID/TOPS programs to middle schools, a mentor academy to help students find role models in the community and other measures, will cost less.

The original plan cost about $105 million over five years. The revised plan's price tag is $55.6 million over the same time period, administrators said. The lower cost is attributed to several initiatives being pushed back, such as extending the school day.

"If we're going to make a difference, we're going to need to invest," Nerad said. "On the other hand, as we started working through the final plan, we realized that we also need to balance this with the needs of the community going forward, and it needs to be a sustainable plan."

The man who was injured in a shooting last week has been arrested, according to Madison police.

Authorities said Kerry R. Steele, 27, of Madison, was arrested Thursday afternoon on a tentative charge of recklessly endangering safety.

Police said Steele was taken into custody after being released from a hospital. Case detectives said they believe Steele also fired a weapon during the gun violence that occurred on Brentwood Parkway on May 3.

Detectives have identified Robert T. Williams, 29, of Madison, as their primary suspect in the attempted homicide case. Williams was arrested in La Crosse.

Police said a man they were seeking as a person of interest in the attempted homicide case, Bryan Lindsey, 22, of Madison, has been located and booked into the Dane County Jail on unrelated domestic charges and a probation violation.

Police said they are still seeking Terrance Frazier, 24, of Madison, as a person of interest for questioning.

Madison police said the primary suspect in last week's attempted homicide on the city's north side is in custody.
