While safety wasn’t on the St. Paul school board’s official meeting agenda Tuesday night, it dominated the public comment period.
The killing of 15-year-old Devin Scott on February 10 — allegedly by a 16-year-old fellow Harding High student — renewed the debate in St. Paul over school resource officers, also called SROs.
Soon after the murder of George Floyd in 2020, the district severed ties with the St. Paul Police Department, which pulled its seven SROs from Harding and other buildings.
