Safe Schools for Prince George's County, Maryland

Scorecard

In June, two bills (one from Raheela Ahmed, one from David Murray) were advanced in PGCPS School Board committees to end memoranda of understanding with PGPD and local police departments in order to remove sworn officers acting as School Resource Officers (SROs) from PGCPS. The issue was tabled until September 17 so that the Board could engage with their constituents and study the issue. But 8 board members voted against even discussing the issue. Since then, two of them lost their seats. Now there is a majority for safe schools on the School Board. Join our allies on the board in PGCPS cut its SROs and invest in care instead.
