The News: School Resource Officers (“SROs”) were placed in Milwaukee Public Schools (“MPS”) today because of a successful lawsuit filed by the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) on behalf of a MPS parent, Charlene Abughrin. In February, Judge David Borowski held the City of Milwaukee (the “City”) in contempt of court for not complying with state law and “ignoring” his own orders to bring SROs into MPS. 

The Quotes: WILL Associate Counsel, Lauren Greuel, stated, “The message from today is simple: frustrated parents, like Charlene, are fighting back and standing up for what’s right. SROs will provide much-needed safety resources to schools and ensure MPS moves closer to a safer, more productive learning environment.”  

Milwaukee parent and WILL client, Charlene Abughrin, stated, “I am so grateful to see SROs back in MPS and for Milwaukee to take this small step towards bringing the focus back on learning, rather than letting students fear for their safety. This victory would not have been possible without the perseverance of the incredible team at the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty.”
