What more police means for schools, especially students of color
Policy makers would do better by Colorado students by spending state resources, scarce as they are, on supporting investments in positive school climates, with programming designed to nurture student development. We should also invest in resources that improve and ease a student’s access to mental health professionals. These are proposals I can support. I cannot support placing more police in our schools and I call on my colleagues to similarly reject this wrongheaded approach to school “safety.”
