MPS school resource officers, agreement reached months after deadline
Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS)
MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee Public Schools on Friday said it has reached a “Memorandum of Understanding” agreement with the city’s police department to implement a school resource officers program.
Act 12, a bipartisan shared revenue bill, required Wisconsin’s largest school district to get school resources officers back in the building by January 2024. Nine months later, progress is being made.

“MPS is ready to implement a School Resource Officer (SRO) program as soon as officers are available,” the school district said in a statement. “MPS has taken Act 12 very seriously from the beginning, engaging with city partners to build a sustainable SRO program.”
The Memorandum of Understanding with the Milwaukee Police Department was reached earlier this week, MPS said. The agreement facilitates implementation of a school resource officer program to comply with Act 12. However, the district gave no timeline for when officers would actually set foot in buildings again. MPS ended its last contract with police in 2020.

“MPS looks forward to working with MPD to begin the process to select and train officers who are committed to improving relationships among schools, law enforcement, youth, and the greater community,” the district’s statement added.
MPS said it has been in communication with Mayor Cavalier Johnson and MPD Chief Jeffrey Norman and will remain in talks.

“The district has already met with the mayor and police chief and will continue to collaborate with stakeholders. MPS is committed to reaching a consensus that will support the successful implementation of Act 12 in a manner that is sustainable and mutually beneficial,” the statement said.
Johnson, a lead negotiator of Act 12, said he supports bringing school resource officers back. Act 12 requires MPS to add 25 school resource officers.

(Courtesy: Milwaukee Admirals)
MILWAUKEE – Ryan Ufko continued his hot offensive streak, scoring a goal and adding an assist, as the Admirals earned a point in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Cleveland Monsters on Friday night.
By the numbers:
Ufko has scored a goal in four straight games and has 11 points in his past five contests, which includes four multipoint games. Jake Lucchini also chipped in a goal, his first of the season, and an assist in the contest, while Matt Murray made 36 saves in net for Milwaukee.

The Admirals were down 2-0 12:12 into the game after Cleveland’s Luca Del Bel Belluz scored twice in a 4:17 span, but the Ads battled back with two of their own to knot the score at 2-2.
Lucchini got the Ads on the board when his initial shot from the right dot sailed wide and up the board where Ufko held the line. He passed back to Lucchini, who had moved into the slot, and ripped a shot past Cleveland goalie Ivan Fedetov.
Ufko found the back of the net 23 seconds into the second period as his shot from the right face-off dot sailed over Fedetov’s shoulder as an Admirals power-play was winding down.
David Edstrom gave the Admirals their first lead of the night 1:23 later as he picked up a shorthanded tally by collecting the rebound of a Reid Schaefer shot and depositing it into a wide open net for his second of the season.

After a scoreless third period, Jack Williams won it for Cleveland when he scored at the 2:15 mark of the overtime session.
What’s next:
The Admirals and Monsters get right back at it on Saturday night as they go for round two – 6 p.m. at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.
