[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

SRO's were removed and crime and violence is up.  [b]So, what is your solution to all this?[/b]  Why should our kids have fear going to school?  You do realize one reason why we don't have enough staff/filled positions is because of the issues in school.[/quote]

The pandemic happened, and crime and violence are up.
TikTok became popular, and crime and violence are up.
The January 6 insurrection happened, and crime and violence are up.
Atmospheric CO2 hit 412.5 ppm, and crime and violence are up.[/quote]

You forgot to include what you thought the solution might be, as was asked of you.[/quote]

Have you read the new plan?[/quote]

What new plan? If you're talking about Montgomery Goes Purple, it specifically doesn't address safety/security and discipline.[/quote]
