But all this hand wringing of safety issues is overblown, per MCPS apologist.

Good god.

? they could've just called the regular police, too. The CEO was not on campus. The school had to call them.

Thankfully, nothing serious happened, but if it had, then there would've been no CEO on campus to address the issue. Admin has to call them.

How many times this school year have mcps students been found to have a loaded gun? There was one at WJ.

What an obtuse statement in light of the countless school shootings this year!

What if the SRO wasn’t there? Because they never had backup, missed school for leave/sick days/ court and were often not on campus.

Luckily the CEO program has multiple cops assigned to each school and can respond quickly.

When the SRO got the gun from a Clarksburg student a few years back the admin had to call them

Huh? "A witness reported to school security that the student had a gun." That witness did the right thing and should be applauded.

Exactly. The people who complain the loudest about SROs being gone have no idea what the reality of the program was. The SRO from Sherwood had a DUI but was assigned to the school to do drug and alcohol education. Plus put a girl in a headlock. Some of the SROs were great. But the program never meant that there was a cop at each high school 100% of the time.

Schools can have backup SROs, too. There are not multiple CEOs assigned to each school.

26 HS, and about 28 CEOs. It's one CEO per cluster.

If there is a shooting in the school, I'd want the cops already in the school, rather than admin having to call them to come. The SRO has a direct line to dispatch; admins do not.

You obviously don't care that much about your kid's safety.

Why throw out a program just because of a few bad applies.

Explain why PGHS, with a higher % of black kids than MCPS, still has SROs if you think they are not useful?
