" ok, it sems just a few shoert years ago sccs all excited about a deputy in the school,now u dont think we need one? why? a few elite kids graduating and others dont need protection or education, let me ask u thism what happens if a kid has a gun and deputy not there? is one of our heroic kung -fu principals superintendant or board meber gonna leap tal buildings and walk through brick and stop the bulet? ya right i hear you, ever wonder how fast a deputy can get to sccs from cato in a life threatnig emergency? our hallways and kids have been a lot quieter , a lot more behaved since sro been there, you cannot deny there is still problems there but like politicans, you can word evrything to make it look so peachy keen, if you are trying to save money, look close, give up the buddy syateym, , attendance way down since 70s but yet we need all these principals, secreteries, people there all day that dont work all day but hve a job cuz they buddies with some one? sccs community i strongly sugest that if we lose our sro, then maybe we need another failed budget, i cant gurantee evry child is safe, but the school could at least make an attempt and provide the children with the education and safey thay need, dont act to hasty sccs, without a sro, if one child was hurt, this coud come back and bite you, dont endanger my child or any child "

" How times have changed. When I went to USCS in the mid 60s we did not even have detention. Most kids were well behaved and the parents backed up the teachers and administration.We had a few smokers in the bathrooms of course but that was about it.I still have nightmares my Latin homework is not done and it is time for class. Anyone who took Latin there will get what that would have meant to a student. Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore. "

" This Officers are a complete waste of money! Studies done have proven they have no impact in the schools. It's a feel good postion that gives everyone a false sense of security. If there are any problems in the schools these Officers call for help from either the State Police or Sheriff. This call could be made by any school employee and save the taxpayers a signiificant amount of money. If the naysayers believe these SRO's are needed in schools, then Dave Gould should do in the schools exactly what he does at the Court House and County Office building and hire retired police and correction officers and make them part time Deputies. This would save the taxpayers a ton of money since these officers do not get benefits and are paid only an hourly salary! "
