Background:
|
(For full report see ATTACHMENT 1.)
Milwaukee Public Schools and the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) have a long-standing collaboration. Based on this relationship, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors has approved intergovernmental agreements between Milwaukee Public Schools and Milwaukee Police Department for the School Resource Officers (SRO) program since 2007. Both organizations have worked together to adjust said resources to the needs of the district and will continue to do so.
SROs interact regularly with school administration, Violence Free Zone, school safety assistants, and the safety director discussing school related concerns and resolutions. The SRO program offers a consistency by the same group of police officers addressing school matters.
At this time, the Administration requests approval of the intergovernmental agreement between Milwaukee Public Schools and the City of Milwaukee for the Milwaukee Police Department to continue the SRO model at MPS schools.
Twelve SROs will be funded by MPS and MPD, each entity to pay for half of the total costs of the program.
In addition, the agreement allows for the termination of the agreement by either party for convenience upon ninety (90) days' written notice to the other party.
