That week was up on February 1, but Montgomery County Public Schools has asked police to continue to monitor schools for the foreseeable future. A spokesman for the school district said &#8220;a date is not yet set&#8221; to remove police from schools.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our police partners are extending their presence on high school campuses,&#8221;&nbsp;Montgomery County Public Schools director of communications Chris Cram told the <em>Free Beacon<\/em> on Wednesday. &#8220;At the same time an extensive workgroup has begun the work to ensure safe and equitable schools in MCPS.&nbsp; This work includes developing a vision for safety, security, and well-being right through to ensuring incident command structure during crisis is ready for appropriate response.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The county in March 2021 decided to strip funding from its decades-old School Resource Officer program after pressure from activists who pointed to a disproportionate number of black students arrested in the school district. Like many other Democrat-run jurisdictions that defunded police programs, Montgomery County is realizing that police presence in schools makes schools more safe. Montgomery superintendent Monifa McKnight announced in a Jan. 24 press briefing after the shooting that the district would reevaluate what a police presence &#8220;needs to look like&#8221; in the future. McKnight said the district did not plan to reinstate the School Resource Officer program.<\/p>\n<p>Police were unable to respond to the shooting at Magruder High School until the injured victim was found in a school building. Two hours after officers arrived at the school, they found the shooter sitting in the classroom with a loaded gun.<\/p>\n<p>The police department told the <em>Free Beacon<\/em>&nbsp;that it will maintain a presence in school buildings until Feb. 11, but the school district is expected to request further help.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Campus Request comes after first school shooting in Montgomery County history  Police vehicles are parked in front of Great Mills High School after a shooting on &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1268051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1268051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1268051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1268051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1268051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1268051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1268051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
