Students in the Olympia School District will soon see school resource officers back on campus.

The vote came after two gun-related incidents at Capital High School that happened less than two weeks after students returned to class.when teachers thought they saw a handgun in one of the bathrooms. Police found a BB gun in a toilet.“In the grand scheme of security, SROs won’t add much of anything to the safety of the school. Metal detectors have similar issues, there’s costs, there’s staff, and there’s training,” said Matthew, a parent.

“I, as a student, am not at all comfortable with police walking the same halls as me,” said Julian, a student.The board spent three hours working on amendments, and in the end, decided to bring back the officers. “For 19 years, I’ve witnessed SROs in my district act with compassion and concern for children with adverse childhood experiences,” said parent Jamie Sullivan.It is not yet known when the officers will be back on campuses.
