[quote=Anonymous]I think the TX school shooting was Example #1 of why an SRO at an elementary school is pretty useless.

At High Schools, SROs are dealing with fights, and drugs and establishing relationships with kids who might get into fights and drugs.  There is a point to having SROs at High Schools on a regular basis.

At Elementary Schools, the daily situation if different.  They don't have the same problems in elementary schools that they have in high schools.

AND, AS WE HAVE SEEN IN TX, one SRO with a little pistol, is not going to do ANYTHING to combat or stop a guy with military grade armor and an AR-15.

Any "benefit" for  SROs in elementary school just doesn't outweigh the cost.  They aren't that useful.  The reason they had one in the TX school is probably because they are so close to the border and they do have guys who run from being chased by the Border Patrol people.  So maybe an SRO is useful to "protect" against a single guy with no gun.  But, an SRO isn't going to stop a guy with body armor and an AR-15.

It would be a lot more effective to make AR-15's illegal.[/quote]
