[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]News article said "There is a growing call for the SRO program to be reinstated. However, politicians including Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich (D) continue to maintain schools are safest without SROs in them." Stupid moron living in a bubble. Can we get rid of this guy? He is old and doesn't even have kids in MCPS. Most of the County Council don't either.[/quote] +1 I’m a Democrat and I want him gone and SROs back in schools. Hell, the whole County Council and the Board of Ed can go too. I would consider voting for a candidate that supports school vouchers so parents can have tax dollars to choose a private option if their public school is not safe.[/quote] We don't have enough private schools for families to go to and most are $50K+ so a voucher will not help the families who actually need it.[/quote] Many do have need based aid. I know because my child transferred to a private that offered him a scholarship after we reported bullying in a MCPS high school. We appealed the school’s denial at every level all the way to the Board of Ed. The response was that no bullying was occurring even though we had screenshots to prove what was online and who the perpetrators were. With the scholarship, I got my son out of the hell that was his MCPS school. It would be great if the victim had that type of opportunity for safety. One last thing about vouchers, I believe that they would make MCPS work harder for the students. If students don’t feel safe and they can get a voucher to go elsewhere, then students leave MCPS. Student enrollment drives funding. So having to compete for students means that they would be incentivized to listen to student and parental concerns then address the concerns.[/quote]
