Petition to bring back SROs

[Anonymous]

Can we start one?

Ridiculous how many serious incidents we've had in MCPS this past few weeks alone.

I've never started a petition. Would MCPS/BOE/Elrich even care?

Nope. The BOE / Elrich only care about pushing their 'progressive' agenda. That is also what voters want. SROs are not a part of that agenda, so it won't happen.

That's fine since they were never really part of the solution anyway.

BOE memo disagrees. I know you would rather ignore the findings, though, since it doesn't fit your narrative.

If that were true, they'd do something about it already but years have past and nothing so guess it's not a serious concern.

Actually, Elrich did backtrack and bring in CEOs rather than SROs..

BOE doesn't have the power to bring back SRO. It's funded by the county.

Elrich pulled the plug before BOE could even decide on it.

“The decision has been taken out of our hands,” said BOE Member Patricia O’Neill.

Elrich should walk the halls, break up fights, and deal with kids with guns in schools.

Principals, who work in the schools and interact with kids everyday, say otherwise.

The Parkland SRO ran from the gunman. Don't expect SROs to help with that.

Thanks but no thanks. We need a social worker in every school first.

Way to go for quoting one incident. SROs have helped mitigate violent situations at schools (including gun related ones) countless times. Read up on the data, including the one further up that PP provided. Why do you think all MCPS principals unanimously wanted to keep them?

Because the principals believe that they help the principals. Empirically, there's not much evidence demonstrating that SROs are effective.

That's silly, PP, of course it's relevant. It's relevant to the question of what SROs can/can't, or do/don't, do.

There are tons of literature and data about Montgomery County SROs that say otherwise. And why would it be a bad thing to provide principals with resources who can actually help them? Why would you take that away? Aren't we supposed to support Principals so that they can effectively run their schools and provide a safe environment for students and staff?
