There are tons of literature and data about Montgomery County SROs that say otherwise.  And why would it be a bad thing to provide principals with resources who can actually help them? Why would you take that away? Aren't we supposed to support Principals so that they can effectively run their schools and provide a safe environment for students and staff?[/quote]

There are studies about the effectiveness of SROs in Montgomery County? I haven't seen any, could you link to them please?[/quote]
MoCo won't do that because the results would go against their progressive objectives.

The BOE attempted to study it, but Elrich moved forward with removing SROs before the study could be completed.   The numbers don't like.  There has been an uptick in violence.

So are there studies, or aren't there?[/quote]
did you read the article?

They probably do but don't want to publicize it since it would go against the progressive agenda.[/quote]

So, there are studies that show that SROs in Montgomery County are effective, but they are secret studies? Amazing. I learn something new on DCUM every day![/quote]
Yes, dcum is great for getting the word out, especially with MCPS because they prefer to hide the issues.

If you read the MCPS forum there are no less than four or five incidents in the past month that lead to a lockdown and/or incident with weapons.[/quote]

DCUM is neither secret, nor a study.[/quote]
yea, where's this study?

[quote]On January 12, 2020, the Board of Education received a report from the superintendent
of schools, deputy superintendent, staff, and guests regarding student arrest data and the
findings and recommendations from the School Resource Officer Work Group regarding
the SRO Program operated in Montgomery County Public Schools in coordination with local
law enforcement agencies.[/quote]

Focus groups and interviews were being conducted in April 2021 with the final report published in May 2021.
Elrich pulls the plug March 2021, before the May study could be completed.[/quote]

Elrich might have pulled the plug on SROs, but it was not in his power to pull the plug on the study. If you want that study, go ask for it.[/quote]

I heard it recommended removing people with guns like SROs from schools.[/quote]
