Denver's school board on Thursday unanimously voted to suspend a policy banning school resource officers, just a day after two deans at were shot by a student. The action reverses the board's 2020 decision to remove SROs following George Floyd's murder.
"We have not flip-flopped, what we are doing is we are including more community engagement," school board president Xóchitl Gaytán told reporters on Thursday.. District Attorney Beth McCann said in a statement he died by suicide on Wednesday.
Marrero said East High School staff were aware of Lyle's criminal background. He was under an agreement to be patted down each day. The superintendent said even if an armed school resource officer had been present on Wednesday, the officer would not have been able to pat down the student — unless there was probable cause to search him.Public figures in Denver including former House Speaker Terrance Carroll warned about knee-jerk reactions to the shooting.
"Politics is naturally reactive and we are seeing that played out right now in the aftermath of the East High shootings," Carroll wrote on Twitter
