CHANGE: Denver Schools Superintendent takes stand against anti-police policy after spate of school shootings: ‘I can no longer stand on the sidelines.’ “The Denver School Board unanimously voted to remove school resource officers in June 2020 after the murder of George Floyd. All officers were phased out from the city’s middle and high schools by the summer of 2021. The decision was declared a victory by community activists who had long campaigned to remove police officers from schools.”
