Marrero: Students who make mistakes need a second chance not an alternative school

Denver Public School’s new Safety Plan should not pit us against one another

Denver Police Division Chief Ron Thomas listens to the DPS board members about school resource officers, or SROs, in schools during a board meeting at the DPS headquarters on June 5, 2023 in Denver. The Denver school board is considering whether to rescind 2020 policy barring police on campuses. After hearing public commentary for hours on Monday, The school board will vote on whether to rescind or reaffirm its 2020 policy prohibiting armed police in schools, potentially paving the way for officers to return to campuses long-term. Rescinding the policy would open the door for Superintendent Alex Marrero to station SROs in schools without the board needing to craft a new policy. (Photo by Helen H. Richardson/The Denver Post)
