Three hundred and eighty-five days.
That’s the difference between the Madison School Board approving a contract to place police officers in each of its four comprehensive high schools for three years, and the board voting to end that contract immediately.
In an illustration of how local activism and a national movement can combine to reshape policy, board members took a major step toward removing officers from from schools Monday night. The vote was unanimous.
Last year, the contract was approved on a 4 to 3 vote, with Nicki Vander Meulen, Ali Muldrow and Ananda Mirilli opposed. Savion Castro and Christina Gomez-Schmidt are new to the board since then. Gloria Reyes, a former police officer, changed her stance recently amid ongoing community activism and Cris Carusi changed her vote from last year given recent events.

It remains unclear how security will be handled this fall, but the district has been working toward including a pay raise and opportunities for advancement for its School Security Assistants in the 2020-21 budget. They hope that will help keep turnover rates low and make the positions more attractive.

Police have been stationed in Madison schools since the 1990s, with proponents highlighting the relationships the officers could establish with students and the need to have an officer on site in case of a school shooter or other emergency.
It’s all virtue signaling and fun until that next school shooting.
As we learned with the Parkland shooting, officers at schools really are not helpful during school shootings.
Yes, Randall,but they are helpful in breaking up fights, preventing mass shooting, solving crimes in the community, helping by investigating child abuse and sexual abuse, helping at sporting events, training staff.
But thanks for playing the fool.
Flunk, the master at taking one bad situation and applying it to ever possible outcome, but only if that bad situation appeals to his jaded world view. Got any links proving that officers at schools are not helpful during a shooting? I bet you don’t :)
BTW, I personally think Police Liaisons at Schools are a waste of time and money. I am, however, mature enough to not apply my bias as broadly as you. I am not, however, mature enough to look at your post, shake my head, and click next. We all have our issues in life.
My issue is that I cannot see the racist statements, the lies, and the attacks by Trump, and condone them as acceptable behavior by the POTUS. Furthermore I can’t attack those that criticize Trump, as many on this board do.
I have the need to call him out on them. After all, all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
As far as links, I have yet to see your well thought out and intelligent critique from the last time you asked for those and I gave you one (on Accelerationism) What good would giving you more links do if I have not even seen evidence you can intelligently digest them?
Oh Flunk, you received feedback on those “links” from not just me…. so we all know it’s a you issue.
Well, if you did, it should be easy to cut and paste it in. Here is the link:

>Well, if you did, it should be easy to cut and paste it in.
Flunk, please try to remember that you asked for this. I was content to let you out with nothing more than a gentle reminder that your links were non-sequitur shit that didn’t correlate with your statement. But hey, you wanted more detail, here you go. Maturity is far more than “you called me a name, I’m more mature than you!”.

You might have missed the constructive feedback, you seem to have left that discussion to yell “SQUIRREL” in some other discussions that you’re not qualified for.
Flunk, where did you go? You’re missing the best part!
Thanks Jason. That link does help. In it, I don’t see any “intelligent, well thought out critique of their analysis, using data and science to refute anything you believe is wrong.” In other words, no constructive feedback.
So nope, I didn’t miss anything. It’s just that no one provided anything beyond outright dismissal of the source, admitting they didn’t read it, and you provided nothing to refute what they said.
Oh, and you moved the goalposts.
Remember you asked was “So you don’t don’t have any hard data or science regarding “White Supremacist Accelerationism”. ” You said nothing about providing data about its connection to “supporting and de-funding the police” So holding me to answer something I never claimed (and you never asked for) is a classic example of moving the goalposts.
So Randall, correct me if I am wrong, but have you ever criticized the terrorist group, Black Lives Matter?
Or are you, like Pat and NPRl, fixated on a few buffoons but ignore terrorist/racist groups like Black Lives Matter who actually do severe damage to the country.
Am I wrong?
I criticize any terrorist group. However in order to criticize BLM as a ‘terrorist group’, you have to show it is a group, and their primary mission is to terrorize.
So go ahead and show proof BLM is a group, and their primary mission is to terrorize. I’ll wait. If you can show they are a group and their primary mission is to terrorize, I will be happy to criticize them.
“So go ahead and show proof BLM is a group, and their primary mission is to terrorize.”
BLM has 27 chapters and takes in donations which can be tax exempt.
So, obviously, it is a group.
It’s primary mission is to get rid of white supremacy and police brutality.
Several of their followers have ambushed and killed police officers.
They have been involved in numerous riots and looting.
They shout slogans about killing police officers.
That is terror.
They are a terrorist organization.
