A Washington school district is cutting ties with local police departments and getting rid of school resource officers over the “threat” they pose to students.

The Edmonds School Board of Directors, which oversees a system of four schools near Seattle, voted unanimously on Tuesday to end contracts with police departments providing school resource officers for three of the schools: Meadowdale, Edmonds-Woodway, and Mountlake Terrace. Law enforcement presence at the fourth school, Lynnwood, will be voted on in August, according to Washington’s My Edmonds News.

I don't think this will work out well for them. The first time there is some sort of "incident" the finger pointing will begin.
