[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO, after this incident, it's clear that we need SROs. Having one may not have stopped this particular incident, but it's clear that admin and staff are not trained (nor should they really be) to assess this type of situation and respond to it appropriately.

Whatever Restorative Justice MCPS has tried, it's not working.

SROs are not the only answer, but it's one tool in the shed we can utilize to protect our children, AND to make connections with kids who clearly need better guidance and direction.

It's time MCPS brought back the SROs, even temporarily for a year or two, since we all know that last year's VL created a lot of mental health issues in kids. The fallout is going to take a while to recover.[/quote]
The basic issue is that if they are intent on keeping SROs out of school then they need to be vigorous about identifying and removing violent and disruptive kids from schools. If they will not do that then SROs are needed, period. [/quote]

This! Both SROs and RJ do not work.

Just because you are against SRO’s does not mean you are for RJ.

Also I know people who are for SRO’s that believe in RJ.

My opinion both must go. Stop tying the hands of principal that need to remove a student.[/quote]
