Kettle Moraine School District to drop armed deputy contract

WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- The Kettle Moraine School District does not plan to renew a contract for its school resource officers.

It comes after voters turned down a $5.9 million referendum earlier this month.

The contract was with the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department.

They provided schools with an armed deputy.

The school district says the county wanted a multi-year contract with rising costs each year.

They do plan to explore other options.
