The UChicago Consortium on School Research just issued a report titled Removing Police Officers from Chicago Schools.
Here’s a quick summary:
SRO removal was significantly related to having fewer high-level discipline infractions.
While high-level discipline infractions rose districtwide from 2018–19 to 2022–23, schools that had fully removed SROs did not have similar increases in high-level discipline infractions; their rates remained relatively flat.
SRO removal was not related to changes over time in:
Student Survey reports of perception of physical safety or student-teacher trust.
Teacher survey reports of perception of physical safety.
I’m adding this info to TEACHING RESOURCES ABOUT IF POLICE SHOULD BE IN SCHOOLS.
