Denver Public Schools discussing removing SROs?

Does a home schooling parent get the state stipend for education to purchase supplies, coarse work and manadated testing materials?

No. And we also get to continue to subsidize the "Jenny has two daddies" BS.

Dont worry, there will be a ballot initiative soon enough to raise taxes so the schools can hire their own mercenaries to replace the police officers.

Yeah...that's an interesting observation.

I hear home schooling is getting more popular.

I've been trying to figure out how to make homeschooling work for us. With both of us working full time, and my wife working what I think are long hours, I don't know if we have much of an option. A private school, if we can get the boys into one, might be our best option.


However, I'm open to a debate on whether SRO's is the best solution. There is more than one answer here, and I don't know which one is best. Private security, SRO's, armed faculty, stuff I haven't considered.
There's more than one example of a deputy deciding not to engage an active shooter (Parkland, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, probably others). The RSO when I was in high school was bedding a few of the seniors every year (the two I was friends with were under 18 at the time). Assuming those stories are even true, but I have more reason to suspect they are true than false. That's a very limited sampling of bad actions in a very large pool of SRO's, and may be a statistical anomaly for SRO's.

I'd like to see an actual argument with solutions proposed. That's not what we'll get though. We'll get a "we stand with the black community" canned response with a proposed action and no alternative presented.

The problem is right now, given the political climate of most populated area school districts, is that RSOs are the ONLY viable option for getting a "good guy with a gun" on campus with any regularity. There may be (and probable are) many on-campus individuals who could fulfill the armed response role, but unless they are going to break the law to carry, the will be unarmed for the indeterminate future. Keeping the RSOs, or other LEO (whatever the designation), on campus is the best bet we currently have for any sort of effective response.

The next time there’s an issue in a school with a bad actor I hope Tay rushes his fat ass to the scene and comes to the rescue.
