Truancy abatement and burglary suppression; Milwaukee public schools
Under current law, all school boards are authorized to establish one or more youth service centers for the counseling of children who are taken into custody for truancy. Current law also provides specific requirements that apply only to the school board of Milwaukee Public Schools related to these youth service centers and truancy abatement.
Under current law, the MPS school board is required to establish two youth service centers to provide counseling to children who are taken into custody for truancy and must contract with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee to operate these youth service centers. Additionally, current law requires the MPS school board to pay to the City of Milwaukee the amount of funding necessary to employ four law enforcement officers to work on truancy abatement and burglary suppression on a full-time basis. This bill eliminates these requirements.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
