We are absolutely with you on this, @AdvocacyPeel. We do *not* need police in our schools. What we need are increased funding & supports for Ss. The @PeelSchools SRO program should be terminated, effective immediately, & the funding redirected to our schools. #ETFO #onted #onlab

We call on @ETFOPeel to support the defunding of the SRO program in @PeelSchools as it disproportionately impacts Black/African students. Will you support us?
