Background:
At its June 2020 meeting, Resolution 2021R-003 was introduced and adopted with amendments by the Milwaukee Board of School Directors. The Board's action terminated all contracts with the Milwaukee Police Department for the services of School Resource Officers and other personnel. Through this action, the Administration was directed to develop recommendations for utilizing money previously allocated to contracts for serving and protecting the safety of MPS students.

The recommendations are to be developed by the Administration in cooperation with the advisory council established by the Black Lives Matter Resolution, the MPS Restorative Practices team, the City of Milwaukee's Office of Violence Prevention, community partners such as the Running Rebels Violence Free Zone teams, and other community-based organizations.

In alignment with the Board's direction, the Administration has identified participants for the purpose of collaboratively developing recommendations regarding funds previously allocated for serving and protecting MPS students.

The virtual meeting dates are August 11, August 18 and August 25.

The Administration will bring a follow up report regarding the final recommendations to the September AFP committee meeting.
