[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please help with a dummy question: who decided to take police out of schools? 
I don't know much about BOE candidates but I want to make sure I don't vote for the guys that took that decision. Thanks.[/quote]

Here is the answer:
"Elrich removed funding for the SRO program when he proposed his Fiscal Year 2022 budget, effectively ending the program.
The County Council at the time was considering two competing bills regarding SROs, but neither made it to a vote.
One bill, sponsored by Hans Riemer and Will Jawando, would have banned police from being stationed in schools. The other, sponsored by Craig Rice and Sidney Katz, would have allowed SROs to be stationed in schools at the request of the MCPS superintendent."

Elrich and the county council (Riemer and Jawando) are to blame for that decision. Not sure BOE had a contribution.[/quote]
