Background:
|
At the Regular Meeting of December 19, 2024, Resolution 2425R-007 by Director Ferguson, on a Financial Analysis Concerning Scanning Equipment was introduced.
The resolved portion of the revised resolution reads:
RESOLVED, That the Milwaukee Board of School Directors directs the Administration to:
1. Obtain a Financial Estimate: Conduct an assessment and obtain initial cost estimates for upgrading or replacing scanning equipment across MPS sites to improve safety measures.
2. Evaluate School Needs: Include in the assessment an overview of each school’s current scanning equipment, identifying deficiencies and potential improvements necessary to meet and enhance safety objectives.
3. Provide a Report: Present the cost estimates, along with any relevant recommendations, to the Milwaukee Board of School Directors; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That this initial report be presented in the February 2025 Board Cycle for further consideration.
In 2022, the district contracted with Safe Havens International to conduct a school safety assessment, which was completed between July 2022 and September 2023. A comprehensive report was presented to the Board on September 28, 2023. Following the completion of the report, the district has continued to work with schools regarding the needs and costs for school safety measures.
The Administration believes that the 2022 study is still a reliable resource for current decision making relative to school safety needs.
