There are studies about the effectiveness of SROs in Montgomery County? I haven't seen any, could you link to them please?

MoCo won't do that because the results would go against their progressive objectives.

The BOE attempted to study it, but Elrich moved forward with removing SROs before the study could be completed. The numbers don't like. There has been an uptick in violence.

So are there studies, or aren't there?

did you read the article?

They probably do but don't want to publicize it since it would go against the progressive agenda.

So, there are studies that show that SROs in Montgomery County are effective, but they are secret studies? Amazing. I learn something new on DCUM every day!

Yes, dcum is great for getting the word out, especially with MCPS because they prefer to hide the issues.

If you read the MCPS forum there are no less than four or five incidents in the past month that lead to a lockdown and/or incident with weapons.

DCUM is neither secret, nor a study.

It's about the same; there's just a rise in postings about these things to fearmonger and help bring back SROs.

Unless your head has been so far up your a$$ that you can't read the news, you are playing down the uptick in violence in our schools

No it’s just more publicized

As a way to fearmonger to achieve political ends like bringing back SROs or making public schools into kid prison

You know what sounds a lot like prison? A place where people openly abuse substances and violence is tolerated and permitted.

Maybe it's not the parents who want better security and more stringent discipline in place who want to turn schools into "kid prison," but it's those who think that the current state is "just fine" or "not a big deal" that are interested in maintaining the kid prison dystopia.

I think a lot of the kids at RM, which has had 2 instances of guns on campus in as many weeks, would prefer SROs come back.
Maybe kids at Magruder and Einstein too. A lot of the parents want them back too. Sadly MCPD is so understaffed due to recruitment problems that I’m not sure they can staff the program.

x a million

-RM parent whose kids feel that way

But it doesn't try to hide information unlike MCPS.

Like I said, MCPS tried to study it, but Elrich pulled the plug before they could conclude the study.

Principals wanted SROs. They ware the ones in the hallways with the kids. Not Elrich or the County Council.

https://www.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/C2S2RR727C3F/$file/SRO%20Program%20210511.pdf

On January 12, 2020, the Board of Education received a report from the superintendent
of schools, deputy superintendent, staff, and guests regarding student arrest data and the
findings and recommendations from the School Resource Officer Work Group regarding
the SRO Program operated in Montgomery County Public Schools in coordination with local
law enforcement agencies.

Focus groups and interviews were being conducted in April 2021 with the final report published in May 2021.
Elrich pulls the plug March 2021, before the May study could be completed.

Elrich might have pulled the plug on SROs, but it was not in his power to pull the plug on the study. If you want that study, go ask for it.

Not sure where you get these ideas from but I've bound MCPS to be very open and communicative. If anything, I'd prefer fewer emails and texts.

they send lots of useless texts, like the anti-racist audit but not useful information like how students are performing at a macro level or how many violent incidents they have in school. A lot of it doesn't get reported because #equity and Restorative Justice.

Imagine being bullied and having to sit down with your tormentor and make nice. I asked my kids what they thought of RJ, and they said sitting down with their tormentor would be like being bullied all over again.

Since you respect cops so much ask them what they feel about security guards.

When lost at the mall, cops recommend that a child never approach a security guard but approach a women with children.

Security guards should be outside schools making sure threats from outside do not get in.

They should ensure doors lock, cameras work, security plans are in place.

They should not have contact with students.

https://www.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/C2S2RR727C3F/$file/SRO%20Program%20210511.pdf

On January 12, 2020, the Board of Education received a report from the superintendent
of schools, deputy superintendent, staff, and guests regarding student arrest data and the
findings and recommendations from the School Resource Officer Work Group regarding
the SRO Program operated in Montgomery County Public Schools in coordination with local
law enforcement agencies.

Focus groups and interviews were being conducted in April 2021 with the final report published in May 2021.
Elrich pulls the plug March 2021, before the May study could be completed.

you "heard"? Where's the study?

Why bother with the study? Elrich pulled the plug.

https://wjla.com/news/crisis-in-the-classrooms/montgomery-county-public-schools-school-resource-officers-police-council-marc-elrich-students-parents-study-feedback-hybrid-program

A year ago, Montgomery County Executive (CE) Marc Elrich abruptly announced the end of the county’s School Resource Officer (SRO) program. This was before school officials completed a study ordered by the Board of Education seeking more community input about the program.

A county council member who spoke with 7News on the condition of anonymity said they were completely caught off guard by Elrich’s announcement.

A county council staffer also said Elrich’s decision halted the legislative process.

The County Council member said the Education Board was split on whether to keep the SRO program, but all of Montgomery County’s 26 high school principals were united in their desire to keep it.


Since the SRO program ended, there have been a number of incidents reported in schools.

In 2022 alone, in addition to the January ghost gun shooting at Magruder, a female student reported a sexual assault at Springbrook High School in February. A Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School student beat a school security guard in February, four Northwood High School students robbed and assaulted a student in a school bathroom in January, and a man was charged with carrying an AR-style rifle outside Gaithersburg High School in January, among other incidents.

Additional incidents were reported in the first half of the 2021-22 school year. According to a 7News story published in February, MCPS called 911 nearly 1,700 times in the first four months of school of the 2021-22 school year.

And then of course, with the uptick in violence, Elrich back tracked and said, "Oh it's up to the schools, they know best"... hence the CEOs.

You know what sounds a lot like prison? A place where people openly abuse substances and violence is tolerated and permitted.

ok, so no cops, no security guards, only teachers and good students who don't fight, bring weapons to school, no sexual assaults.

ITA. Can you make that happen in all MCPS public schools?

The problem with progressives is that they are pollyanna kumbaya, "hug it out", delusional
