"Some parents think the answer to curbing student substance use is for the Police Department to put school resource officers, or SROs, back into schools.
At the start of the 2020-21 school year, the county replaced SROs with a new safety model using community engagement officers, or CEOs. Currently, CEOs are stationed in strategic geographic areas near schools so that they’re poised to respond to campus incidents as necessary.
Christine Deerin, mother of a B-CC sophomore, told MoCo360 she believes SROs need to be reinstated."
That one needs re-education!
"Jawando told MoCo360 that he doesn’t believe SROs would solve safety issues or student substance use. Instead, he said MCPS needs to embrace a more “integrated approach” by focusing on increasing mental health resources and accessibility to support.
“When you have the right set of social supports, it reduces antisocial behavior,” he said."
Anything but 1 Mommy and 1 Daddy, eh 'Wando?
