Councilmember Will Jawando, County Executive Marc Elrich, and the Montgomery County Council voted to defund School Resource Officers (SROs) at Montgomery County Public Schools in March of 2021 despite many citizens warning them that it was a bad decision and EVERY high school principal going on record to say they want to keep them.

Since school started August 30, 2021, there have been numerous fights, school lockdowns and multiple on-campus stabbings. It is clear that defunding SROs was a huge mistake, and instead of admitting it, Jawando is blaming the lack of more guidance counselors for the violence. 

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO SEND A STRONG MESSAGE TO THOSE IN POWER THAT THIS SITUATION IS UNACCEPTABLE.
