[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not convinced that more SROs are the answer.  When you have an enormous high school that has cut sports teams and does not offer intramurals, you are going to wind up with a situation where kids don't find something else that they want to be involved in, and get sucked into negative activity.  Academics are not everyone's thing, so kids need other options of reasons to want to participate positively in a school community.[/quote]

could you elaborate on what sports teams have been cut?

Also, why not both? ACPS is in crisis - it should be all hands on deck. SROs, more mental health resources, sports, activities, outreach to families.

While I think your ideas are thoughtful...cultural change like that happens over time. ACPS and specifically the high school are pretty far gone in terms of drugs (obviously), violence including rapes and sexual violence, gang activity. It's nice to think that sports will solve everything but that's very naive if you know what is happening in the schools all the way down to elementary.
