Milwaukee stiff-arms cops in schools as allegations of robbery and assault mount
Through a formal records request, the Badger Institute also was able to determine the district spent at least $15,000 to send school officials on three fact-gathering trips in October, November and December 2023 to schools in Atlanta and Macon, Georgia, and in Washington, D.C.
Nine school officials, including former Superintendent Keith Posley and Instructional Leadership Director Miguel Sanchez, were joined on two of the trips by Steve Lubar, executive director of the Administrators and Supervisors Council, representing MPS principals, assistant principals, and supervisors.
Police Chief Jeffrey Norman and Assistant Chief Steven Johnson were part of the group that went to Atlanta and Macon on Nov. 30-Dec. 1, according to the documents. But expenses for Lubar, Norman and Johnson were not paid by the district, the documents said.
Each of the trips included visits to various high schools and elementary schools and their public safety command centers, and the command and dispatch centers for each of those police districts, according to the documents.
