Harold Caldwell says the decision to cancel the program was a major mistake that has done serious damage to the critical task of building relationships with students.
The former deputy superintendent of the Greater Victoria School District went on stress leave for months and then retired early over the board’s controversial handling of the school police liaison officer program.
When the consultation produced an inconclusive report, the board had a pre-written motion ready and voted unanimously to block police from schools, he said. So police have been barred from district schools since last year, except in emergencies or special circumstances. “You were not given the same weight as someone who was anti-police and wanted police removed from schools.”
