George Floyd death: Minneapolis school board members draft resolution to terminate police contract


A member of the Minneapolis Public Schools board said Friday that he has drafted a resolution to terminate its contract with the city's police department following the death of George Floyd. In a tweet outlining his proposal, Josh Pauly said the school district "cannot align itself with MPD and claim to fight institutional racism." He said he plans to bring the resolution to the full board on June 2. Siad Ali, a director of the Minneapolis Board of Education, said he co-sponsored the resolution, in a separate tweet. If passed, the measure would terminate MPS's contract with the police department, cease all future negotiations with the law enforcement agency and direct the superintendent and staff to devise an alternative plan.
