Then there would be no need for these SRO police.

If only the police would do their job and enforce the law, none of this would be an issue, but I feel like we're being shook down to fund SROs when they're already paid to do this.

You’re kidding, right? The politicians got rid of the police! They removed SROs, and the new model doesn’t give police the same ability to be proactive as the old one.

If you want to blame someone, point your finger at the politicians.

This.

So much political posturing by our progressive, liberal politicians. Who clearly don’t care about our kids or their safety. As long as they can continue to self-promote and push through their progressive agenda.

So, at the impacted secondary schools, when do kids use the bathroom? During class only? Or wait during lunch for the only open restroom? Will teachers always allow kids to use the bathroom during class?

It’s not like there will be no bathrooms. Kids will still be able to go during lunch and between classes. This is no different than when I was in HS in the 70s. I have yet to hear a single kid complain - they’ve got it figured out.

What kid is going to publicly complain about having bathroom issues? That would be almost as bad as the issue itself.

You've got to be kidding me. All people do here is complain about dubious made-up issues.

Do you have a kid at one of these HS? Have you asked them about the bathroom situation? They definitely are upset about it, including the fact that teachers won’t give bathroom passes. Talk to your teen. This isn’t a made up issue.

Schools are run by the Board of Education, which is a elected counsel. Not politicians.

And yet, Elrich was able to basically single-handedly remove SROs from our schools, despite what principals wanted.

He's my hero since everyone knows SROs only put our children at greater risk.

Kid says it's not that big a deal. Once in a while they come across someone vaping which they ignore.

There's no need for MCPS to run its parallel judicial system. We already have one. Just get the police to do their jobs. There are consequences for these ssault or possession of a controlled substance. MCPS shouldn't be in the business of administering justice. Leave it to the pros.

Because they were employed by MCPD, not MCPS.

Which school specifically are your kids at? Because it’s not what I hear from my kid at RMHS, which is one of the affected school. I think the bathroom issue is a much bigger issue for most of the kids than the guns issue. (And the kids also all hate the security at entry/exit points, which is probably unnecessary and unhelpful.). But bathrooms being inaccessible is a big deal.

So much astroturfing by far-right extremists who think SROs are a good substitute for gun reform.

My kid also says this is way overblown. No idea why there's so much pearl clutching. Maybe fearmonger to achieve some political agenda.

My DD at Westland MS already says there are days when teachers don't have enough bathroom passes in class, or get angry and suddenly issue a moratorium on going to the bathroom. I have told her to go between classes, and that I don't care if she's late to class, but if they start restricting access then, what are kids supposed to do???

It's like a badly managed prison.

The nurse’s office is an appropriate alternative for those students. I’ve had 3 kids in DCC secondary schools, including two girls who menstruated and a boy with IBS-D. They did fine.

It's not even an alternative, it's how it's supposed to work in schools, lol.

When my DS had a sports injury, he had to have his ibuprofen administered by the nurse. I remember assuming we could just send him with a bottle of ibuprofen that he could take but I was sternly warned that was not allowed and that he could come to the nurse's office to take his doses as needed or as pain indicated. He was fine and the nurse did her job just great. Even called me after administering the medicine, even though I didn't need her to do that, as a standard practice.

Wait... you're comparing taking medicine to using the bathroom????

You might want to teach your child to see how other kids might not be impacted in the same way they are. It’s kind of gross to call something affecting others overblown just because it hasn’t proven to be a big problem for one kid at one school. I thought today’s teens were better than that.

Tell your hero Elrich to do monitor the bathrooms, then, because everyone knows how easy it is to get teens to comply, right?
