More than 10% of schools drop SROs
New federal data indicates that more than 10% of schools with regular police presence removed officers in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death — marking an 11% decrease in school policing from the 2019-20 school year. The decline is attributed to a reversal of the trend amid concerns about the effect of campus policing on students, particularly Black youth, but some districts are reconsidering school resource officer programs.
