They have one. He just happened to not be on site.

That's because it's not an SRO but a CEO.  A CEO does not stay inside the school nor walk the halls unless invited by the Principal. A CEO is shared with the cluster.

Bring back SROs.[/quote]

No, we don't need police in schools and they don't really stop shit like this from happening, anyway. See Uvalde or Parkland, for example. [/quote]

Yes, we do.  A good officer could shoot the shooter.  There are plenty of situations where they do step in and resolve it.  The two you are choosing are the worst but there are many times SRO's save lives.  Some schools have an officer sitting outside a lot of time.  Ours do.[/quote]

When well done SROs make a difference. They don’t just sit on a chair. They engage with the kids, they get to know them, the counsel and advise many of them. They know the troublemakers and can engage and intervene before stuff like this happens. Given that the counselors are busy doing college recommendations and class schedules and very little “counseling” it’s helpful to have another person there to help the kids. [/quote]
