Wisconsin legislators propose tracking crime in schools
The Beloit Daily News reported Monday (http://bit.ly/1OwJl31 ) that Sen. Mary Lazich and Rep. Ken Skowronski have drafted a bill that would create a pilot program to record incidents in one urban school district, one suburban district and one rural school.
The newspaper also reported that Rep. John Jagler has proposed a bill that would require public high schools and private high schools participating in the state's voucher program to collect statistics on crimes and safety incidents on school property, school buses and school-sanctioned events beginning in the fall of 2017.
A report from the National Center for Education Statistics and the Bureau of Justice Systems for 2011-2012 found that 11.3 percent of Wisonsin teachers reported their students had physically attacked them and 13.7 percent reported students had threatened them with injury.
