For more than two decades, Eastlake High School has had a school resource officer.

The Lake Washington School District contracts with the KCSO to fill these positions. The district also has SRO agreements with nearby Kirkland and Redmond Police Departments.

“I want their success here at the school and I want their safety here at the school,” said Martin. “That occasionally means I’m going to be stopping them and making them go left instead of right.” “The majority of students that I’ve spoken to are upset that there is a potential for him to leave,” said teacher Darin Fisher. “It’s disappointing to think in this time with all of the violence in schools, potential gun shootings, also the mental health issues that students have that we could lose a resource that can really help kids.”

As we provided previously: No decisions have been made regarding next year. Currently, the District contracts with the Kirkland, Redmond, and Sammamish police departments for uniformed police officers to support schools regionally during the school day. The District has begun conversations with each of these agencies about plans for next year to maintain the important services that they provide to our schools despite budget reductions and staffing challenges.

we can’t afford to keep kids safe because we have to buy 3 years of baby killing drugs in state where baby killing is never going to be illegal. This states leadership is pure garbage and need to be thrown out of office!

Billions to Ukraine, but there is no room in the budget for a couple of officers at each school across the country to keep kids safe. Bidens America.

It would be easy to keep kids safe... but the Democrats have no desire to do that, they want to make them vulnerable so they can try to exploit more deaths that could be prevented.

Now the education system reacts! One of the most vital things the school system can do is steer the proper kids into the proper career paths. Trade work is neither a life of poverty nor one lacking dignity. And a good tradesman is certainly one not wanting for raw intelligence.
