Guardians and Gatekeepers: The Role of SROs in Our Schools and Communities
The jury recognizes support for school resource officers while recommending clearer roles, crisis protocols, evaluation and oversight. Three agency packets describe differing positions and planned changes. Official errata corrects response recipients; MJUSD’s packet addresses findings without separately answering recommendations.

SRO agency responses in the original county compilation
The Sheriff aligns with MJUSD’s positions but expresses reservations about prescriptive roles, metrics and dedicated supervision. Wheatland agrees with all findings and supplies a local SRO manual, with further behavioral-health and evaluation work planned. MJUSD disputes several findings, acknowledges qualitative evaluation, and describes formalization and data plans.
