Resident urges future discussion of school resource officers; board requests staff prepare school-safety materials
Summary
A member of the public asked the board to discuss school resource officers (SROs) at a future meeting; board members asked staff to place school-safety review on a forthcoming agenda and to provide previous presentations for context.
During the meeting's public comment period, Cheryl Rosado asked the board to place a future discussion on campus law enforcement and school resource officers, citing concerns about student safety and online reports of fights. After her comment, board members asked staff to place school-safety as an agenda item and requested past presentations and materials be provided to a newly seated board member to provide context.
Rosado said she attended to request a future discussion about SROs and campus safety, and told the board she had brought potential future Phoenix Union students to observe the meeting. "I would like to request that this is an issue that I think is really important," Rosado said during public comment.
Board members followed up after the public comment period. One member asked whether a school-safety report could be placed on a future agenda; staff said the request was appropriate and that such matters could be placed on the agenda list. Another board member asked staff to send prior school-safety presentations and livestream recordings to help a newly appointed member get up to speed. The board agreed to consider a school-safety agenda item before the school year begins.
