School Resource Officer (SRO) Evaluation

1. Background

At its meeting on July 27, 2017, the Board directed the Office of Accountability and Efficiency to engage an external evaluator to conduct an evaluation of the School Resource Officer Program. The Board also directed that a preliminary report be brought back to the Board in December and a final report in May 2018.

2. Update

The OAE has been working jointly with the Administration and the Milwaukee Police Department to engage an external evaluator. A request for proposal (RFP) was drafted and released using the District’s standard evaluator selection process used by the Office of Innovation and Information, Department of Research and Evaluation. The District received two responses and a selection was made to begin the work of accomplishing the following goals, subsequent to contract execution:

• Interviews and/or focus groups with program participants and stakeholders;
• Literature review;
• Gap analysis between current and best practice;
• Gap analysis between required systems to support best practices and current systems;
• Opportunity/Risk/Threat analysis of best practices in local SRO environment;
• Return on investment and/or projected benefits of implementing best practices detailed;
• Recommendations in the form of a plan to implement best practices considering benefits and effort; and
• Final evaluation report and presentation.
