Salem Youth Organizations Lead Efforts To Remove Police From Schools

By Levi Herrera-Lopez

Students in the Salem-Keizer School District are asking adults to imagine an approach to student safety that works for ALL students. More specifically, a number of current and former students are telling adults.

The School Resource Officer (SRO) program does not keep them safe,

Students of color, in particular, feel targeted by SROs.

They want to change the systems that contribute to creating a school to prison pipeline in our schools, beyond just the SRO program.

They want the SRO program to end, and instead investments to be made in student supports, restorative justice, and in the classroom; all of which contribute to greater student wellbeing, academic achievement, and attachment to school and community.

If members notice any scrivener's errors please email Keri our Rules Chair at rules@mariondemocrats.org so it can be corrected. They will not be voted upon at the next central committee meeting, per our bylaws. They will be presented at the next meeting and then voted upon at the following meeting.
