Chicago Public School (CPS) Board of Education on Wednesday rejected a proposal that would have ended its agreement with the city’s police department to post police officers in schools.

In a tight 4-3 vote, the seven-member board decided not to terminate a $33 million contract with the city of Chicago. Under the contract, the Chicago Police Department provides nearly 200 officers spread across more than 70 CPS schools, including 144 school resource officers (SROs) assigned to high schools, and 44 mobile school officers going between various elementary schools.
