Recently there has been news surrounding a petition “to remove school resource officers from Charleston County schools”, and has gained more than 1,000 signatures over the last week. I would be interested in seeing how many people are AGAINST this. With school shootings at an all time high we cannot afford to risk the safety of our children. Please sign if you are AGAINST the removal of police protection at our schools. Together we can find ANOTHER way to fund mental health counselors, school psychologists, guidance counselors, and crisis intervention specialists. Certainly not at the expense of our children’s safety. SAFETY FIRST!
