Student activist groups and community organizations like Montgomery County Defund/Invest Coalition, a group of more than 25 Montgomery County-based organizations, support the removal of police officers from Montgomery County Public Schools. Students from across the county have shown overwhelming support for the removal of School Resource Officers.
The Montgomery County Defund Policing & Invest in Communities Coalition, a coalition consisting of over 25+ organizations here in Montgomery County supports the removal of police from public schools. We are urging the Montgomery County Board of Education to listen to not only Moco residents but the main body that their policies impact, the students. There has been overwhelming student support for the removal of SROs. It is time that the BOE follows suit.
