CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago's Board of Education made a decision Thursday on CPS school resource officers.
In a unanimous vote, Chicago's Board of Education approved a plan to remove police officers from Chicago Public Schools, starting next school year.
Dozens of students who want to see police out of their schools rallied outside CPS headquarters Thursday morning.
CPS students from "Cops Out CPS" gathered to call on the Board of Education to remove police from schools and re-invest more than $10 million spent on police in school programs and resources.
Many students said the student resource officers are costly, ineffective and that the officers make them feel unsafe.
"It's so important for me to speak up because I'm not able to speak up for my youth, they're not gonna have the power to speak up so somebody needs to set the example so I'm gonna set the example for my youth to be able to speak up," CPS student D'Andre Robinson said.
"We really need those funds so that Hyde Park can be a better place, other schools can be a better place," CPS student Makayla Acevedo said. "My school does not have nursing programs...I don't wanna have to go outside of high school to find resources just to build my goals to reach my goals."

Clown Show on deck...
“”My school does not have nursing programs””
Well, make a school a ‘gun free zone’ and you will get to practice nursing up close and personal.
I wonder if the gangs in Chicago pushed and funded this insanity.
Student:
“find resources just to build my goals to reach my goals”
Just teach them Swahili and move on...English is just not going to happen...
;-)
great... now the little animals can tear up the schools and each other...
Peak absurdity is within our grasp
bkmk
Future historians, assuming there are any, will call our time The Crazy Years.

I’m gonna set the example for my youth to be able to speak up,” CPS student D’Andre Robinson said.
Certainly both he and Makayla are fine examples of the kinds of scholars the Chicago Public Schools is turning out.
Stupid idiots are going to get some teachers killed by some of the little darlings.
May the reap rewards for their decision. I truly wish that for them.
Everybody learns at their own pace. Stupid bastards.
Think of it as opening up a giant can of Gene Pool Cleaner on Chi-town. They need it!
Chaos to ensue...
CPS English teachers are doing a FINE job. I do believe D'Andre is a shoo-in for Democrat VP in the not to distant future.
Yet a Massachusetts school asked for the governor to send in the state National Guard it’s so out of control.
323,251 -- Number of students enrolled at start of school year 2023-2024.
634 -- Number of schools, including district-run, charter, contract, and SAFE schools.
"Democracy" in action. Dozens of noisy brats don't care about the other 27,000 dozen students.
“It’s so important for me to speak up because I’m not able to speak up for my youth, they’re not gonna have the power to speak up so somebody needs to set the example so I’m gonna set the example for my youth to be able to speak up,”
This guy is a shoo-in as a Kamala speech writer.
keep it's SRO because some think it helps repair distrust between Black and Brown communities and the police.
The whites must have got outta Dodge.
Does nobody else see the term “School Resource Officer” as horrifyingly Orwellian?
He’s the violent force of the state sanctioned into schools.
