WHY WON'T EDMONTON PUBLIC SCHOOL TRUSTEES SUPPORT STUDENT RESOURCE OFFICERS?

A recent report provides evidence that there is both a need and support for Student Resource Officers (SROs). After the George Floyd incident in 2020 the trustees put the SRO program on hold. The report indicates that since then a sizable number of students have said they had been threatened, physically attacked, in a physical fight, robbed, sexually harassed or assaulted at school. Current students said they feel less safe since the since the SROs were axed.
