Loudoun County schools still have SRO.

However, it takes them being called to the incident for them to intervene.

This teacher is 100% going to get fired, according to my LCPS teacher friends.  [/quote]

No use talking with the close-minded "SRO or Bust" parents. They genuinely believe that one person has the power to solve any and all issue before they occur.[/quote]

I'm not "SRO or bust" but I've read studies and most students feel safer with an SRO on campus. And whatever the new plan is, it's obviously not working because things have very obviously gotten worse this school year. [/quote]
PP again. What I mean is, I'm open to learning more and hearing other views but based on my reading, the pros seem to outweigh the cons. [/quote]

What pros? SROs haven't stopped a single active school shooter and most shootings often happen off campus now. Just because kids "feel" safer doesn't mean they actually are safer

I’m a teacher, and I want them back.  People don’t know the all of the horrible things some kids endure in the community.  Having an SRO at school is really helpful for those moments, when that stuff comes to light.  I also think their presence has a positive impact on student behavior, which all of my colleagues are complaining about right now, but don’t seem to get the connection.  They’re all falling all over themselves to prove how anti-racist they are (students and parents, too, for that matter) by demanding that they’re pulled out.  This doesn’t solve George Floyd.  I’d never dare say it to them, though- they’d jump all over me.  But removing the SRO’s was so dumb.  As far as active shooters go- yeah, I’d like them there.  They’re trained and they have a gun.  That article means nothing to me.  SRO’s have also been helpful in these incidents. We could go back and forth with that.  Would like to err on the side of safety.
