Background: On July 26, 2018, the Board approved the Administration’s recommendation to enter into an agreement with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee and the City of Milwaukee for the Truancy Abatement and Burglary Suppression (TABS) Program. As of August 7, 2018, the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee has notified the Milwaukee Public Schools that the Club would no longer be participating in the TABS program and would seek the amendment of any applicable state statutes. At that time, the Administration and the City of Milwaukee agreed to continue their working relationship under an amended agreement. That agreement is now before you for your approval.

The Administration is requesting authorization to enter into an Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement with the City of Milwaukee for the Truancy Abatement and Burglary Suppression (TABS) program. The City of Milwaukee provides four city police officers for the TABS program.

The Department of Student Services is accountable for ensuring the implementation of the TABS program. These contracts are consistent with state statute §119.55 as well as Administrative Policy 8.14.

The contract will run from September 3, 2019, through May 22, 2020.
