The Seattle Public Schools Board said Wednesday the district will temporarily cut ties with the Seattle Police Department for one year as protests have continued in Seattle and across the country against police brutality.

SPS Superintendent Denise Juneau said, due to current national events, a resolution will be voted on "to reevaluate our relationship with SPD" and put into place a district-wide one-year suspension of School Emphasis Officers and School Resource Officers.

"We must ensure that SPD’s values and actions are in alignment with our strategic plan, Seattle Excellence, as well as our values as an organization," Juneau said in an announcement to staff, families and students. "SPD will not be present on our campuses except in emergencies."

Juneau said she wants all students to feel comfortable in school and is committed to "dismantling racist practices."
