All of the Above Podcast

This Week: New federal data shows that our nation’s schools have seen a modest decline in the presence of police, for now at least. In the aftermath of the 2020 uprisings and the movement to defund the police a number of school systems partially defunded, or cut school based police. But, fewer took that step than you might think, and with the ongoing crisis of school shootings and the increase of disruptive student behaviors post pandemic, advocates worry that we are seeing a quiet escalation of the presence of cops in schools once again. IT raises important questions, like what really makes schools safe? Manuel and Jefff discuss.
