Just attended the Local School Council meeting at McCutcheon Elementary and the chair quickly adjourned the meeting after I asked during public comment about the incident of a four-year-old student being dragged by a cop at the school. There were several other people signed up to speak but the chair refused to continue with public comment and quickly adjourned the meeting.

Initially, there wasn't even a motion presented to adjourn. She just said the meeting had to adjourn.

Lakeview HS principal worked with students to create a survey to gather feedback on student experiences with SROs. He gave them ownership over the process.

I shouldn't be blown away by this but I am. This is the first and only school I've seen do this. Students are currently presenting the survey results. They received 125 responses and found that more students had negative experiences with SROs than positive experiences.
