Students and community members rallied, calling for solutions to the city’s gun violence, which has recently come to the doorstep of schools like Juarez. The shooting also sheds light on the debate over school resource officers in schools.
Some schools, like Juarez, have voted to remove the officers while others have elected to keep them.
Ald. Matt O’Shea represents an area of the city that includes Morgan Park High School. The local school council voted to keep their school resource officer. “School resource officers are Chicago police officers who are assigned inside the building. In theory, what they should be doing is establishing relationships with the student body so they know that they can come to them if there’s a problem…,” O’Shea said. “I think they can be an effective tool and they can be helpful.”Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez points out that Chicago communities are all different and have different needs.
