[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a video on YouTube of the county's working session on these issues yesterday.

Could anyone who watched the video say if they presented opposing views on RJ or was it all rainbows and sunshine?[/quote]

This was the first of many discussions. The RJ office provided a status and informational update, which was very much rainbows and sunshine. Following this, MCPD presented data on the CEO program and arrests made this year. The county council members then raised numerous questions. Further meetings will be scheduled, potentially in June, during which the council has requested additional data, and suggested that school administrators also be present to provide thoughts on what is working and what is not. With the exception of Jawando, council members expressed concerns about the implementation of RJ. Jawando, on the other hand, was more focused on obtaining arrest data by race/ethnicity and the disproportionate number of suspensions affecting black and brown students. The number of weapon incidents alone in this school year, 218, is a worrying statistic.[/quote]
