As suspensions increase in Milwaukee Public Schools, Student Resource Officers are still waiting to be implemented in these schools. Institute for Reforming Government’s Quinton Klabon joined WTMJ’s Political Power Hour to discuss why the process is being stalled.
Klabon said the original deadline to decide on implementing 25 SROs into Milwaukee Public Schools was January 1st. He went to the latest MPS Board meeting on February 29th to see what they’re doing about the endeavor.
“[They said], ‘We’re working on it,’” he said. “‘We went to Washington D.C., we went to Atlanta, we asked what they’re doing, we talked to students and… we’re working on it.’”
