Committee on school policing in La Crosse still under discussion

The La Crosse school board is getting ready to form a committee on the future of school resource officers in the district. 

A contract with the La Crosse police to put officers in city schools expires a year from now. 

Board president Laurie Cooper Stoll said at a board workshop Monday night that she wants to be sure the public can comment on having police in school.  

Board member Juan Jimenez hopes that such a committee is given a specific goal.

“Having that set explicitly, reviewing the specifics of what it is we want to do, I would not want to go into this type of conversation and not have that set ahead of time,” said Jimenez.
