Thirty two people spoke at a special board meeting on Tuesday about SROs.
All of the people who spoke at the meeting wanted to see more done to address safety in schools, but the group was divided on what should be done.
SROs were in Edmonton public schools until September 2020, when the board opted to cancel the program because of concerns about the impact on racialized and marginalized students.

On Tuesday, the board voted 5-3 in favour of resuming the program.
