[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] As PP noted, this is a function that belongs with county council, not the Board of Education. The context in which this decision was taken is important - in the middle of a nationwide uproar about police officers carrying out executions on film, followed by the release of footage from an MCPS elementary school in which police officers handcuffed and verbally assaulted a kindergartner. The political environment was ugly, and the Council felt that they needed to respond to public outrage over the treatment of the child, particularly once it became clear that the police officers were not going to be disciplined for the abusive actions.
