[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for Marc Elrich, since he unilaterally pulled the SROs out of the schools:  why didn't you do an independent, validated survey of a representative sample of parents, teachers, and kids about whether they want SROs or not?

Prince George's County, which has 55% AA enrollment and 37% Latino/a enrollment, did a real survey, and 82% thought SROs were important or very important to have in schools.

Charles County conducted one, too, with 56% AA enrollment and 10% Latino/a, and 90% thought SROs were important to have in schools.

So why does a group of 30 child advocates get to call the shots here?   I get listening to kids, giving them input, validating their experiences.   But in the end, adults need to make the decision.   [/quote]
Elrich doesn’t run schools. MCPS and specifically Dr. McKnight run schools. She has been the chief proponent of removing SROs and adamant that they don’t return. By the way, she lives in PG County and her kids attend PGPS. [/quote]

He runs the police department and he pulled them regardless of what anyone else wants. [/quote]
The council cut the funding for the program, led by Riemer and Jawando. [/quote]

No they didn’t. The police are still working, just aren’t allowed in the school.s [/quote]
Please inform yourself.

The bills died.

Elrich did this.   https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-politics/montgomery-schools-police-officer-program/2021/08/25/99fe70d2-058b-11ec-a654-900a78538242_story.html

There is a CEO program made up of most of the same officers.  There were no budget cuts for existing sros[/quote]
