[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jawando was more focused on 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]

This sounds like racist weapons are "affecting" black and brown students by hiding in their backpacks.

Since violence is often intraracial, poor enforecment victimizes black and brown students.  Elimination of SRO's also makes teachers give more suspensions to preempt problems.  Bad management hurts disadvantaged students most.[/quote]

Maybe that would be true if SROs helped make schools safer, but all the data suggests they only make matters worse.[/quote]
mcps data shows schools currently without SROs aren't safer.

And actually, MCPS memo prior to SRO being cut indicated that there were pros and cons to SROs, and that in some cases, SROs can be positive. But, Elrich pulled the plug before MCPS could study it more in depth.

And now we have CEO 2.0 because county council and Elrich realized, oops, school violence is out of control.. maybe we should have some cops in some cases in the schools.[/quote]

At the board meeting the other week they said  the exact opposite, that the incidents are down since they removed them.[/quote]

The calls (incidents) are down but the arrests are up.[/quote]
