[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PG, a majority black county isn't afraid of SROs. They did it right and decided to actually survey residents (instead of a small select group) and made the decision to keep SROs based on resident feedback:  https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/education/pgcps-school-board-vote-school-resource-officers/65-551556ee-53c7-4288-acff-255dc8b01b58

A district-wide survey revealed 82% of its 13,000 respondents think SROs are important or very important to maintaining a safe learning environment.[/i]

GET 'EM WITH THE RECEIPTS AND THE FACTS!

Montgomery County is the only county in the state of Maryland to do away with SROs by the way.[/quote]

Sounds like MoCo is the only county looking at actual data then since SROs are notoriously ineffective.[/quote]

Exactly, since every credible study concludes that they almost never improve matters and more often subject kids to greater risk.[/quote]
MCPS used data that showed SROs can help reduce violent crime in schools. [/quote]

Oh no, it was the exact opposite. That's why they got rid of them.[/quote]

For the millionth time, MCPS did not get rid of SROs. They were evaluating and studying the impact of SROs when Elrich (and Jawando) Jumped the gun and pulled SROs unilaterally, which took the decision out of the school board and district's hands.[/quote]

Elrich and Jawando did not stop the study though. They couldn't have. Why didn't MCPS complete the study?[/quote]

I bet they did  it because they got a hold of the study, and it was so bad that they had to act to protect the kids by removing the SROs ASAP![/quote]
