[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since SROs are no longer in schools, then what is MCPS doing to keep schools safe?[/quote]

Restorative justice practices and more emphasis on mental health support.

Which is great. And absolutely needs to happen.

I just wish they hadn’t removed the SROs too. MoCo is the only county that removed them in Maryland, even though several others examined the issue in the wake of George Floyd’s murder.   [/quote]

What exactly would an SRO done? Pulled a gun? [/quote]

Presence is deterrence. Nobody ever has to touch a gun.  There is far more to the spectrum of police work than an arrest/use of force.[/quote]

So we agree we don’t need police with guns in the schools. [/quote]

No. What is needed is a zero tolerance policy for violence in school.  Years ago people were expelled for violence.  Now they're given a cookie and told to write a note to themselves telling them why they're awesome.[/quote]
