After pulling police from MCPS before SRO study completed, Elrich to bring them back

Montgomery County officials are soon expected to approve a new plan that would place police officers back in schools. The about-face comes after several violent incidents inside Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) during the 2021-2022 school year. A year ago, Montgomery County Executive (CE) Marc Elrich abruptly announced the end of the county’s School Resource Officer (SRO) program. This was before school officials completed a study ordered by the Board of Education seeking more community input about the program.
