Psalm for the January Thaw
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Stumble On
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
The Heavenly Declaration
The universe that inspired the psalmist three thousand years ago grows grander as each new generation of astronomers adds yet another layer of understanding.
Series: Scripture and the Authority of God
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
Jefferson's Bible and the Tears of Christ
Predictably, "Jesus Wept" did not make into the Jefferson Bible. John 11 was cut out entirely, falling onto the floor of his Monticello home and discarded, along with Martha's confession.
Series: Science as an Instrument of Worship
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
Possibilities and Second Chances
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
Series: Understanding Evolution: Is There "Junk" in Your Genome?
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment on "junk DNA", we explore how genomics can be employed to test for non-functional sequences by comparing sequences between related organisms.
Oscillators for Singers
Dr. Heather Whitney's double major in physics and performing and visual arts suggests that she lives—as well as understands—the connections between subjective and objective ways of engaging the creation. She is committed to communicating that experience with her students, too.
Where is the Genetic Evidence for Evolution?
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
A Lively God
In today's video, Rev. Lincoln Harvey discusses our desire to "domesticate" the liveliness and abundance of God. Harvey notes that the Trinity highlights both the manyness and oneness of God, which can be hard to Christians to fully understand.
Science or sola Scriptura?
So, for Driscoll, the choice is a simple dichotomy: Scripture or science. Scripture is the highest court of authority in all matters, and the role of believing scientists is to affirm Scripture. To fail to do so is to "exchange the truths of Scripture for the truths of science".
Art, Worship, Creation, and Imaginative Engagement
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
The Truthfulness of Scripture: Inerrancy, Part 1
Against the repeated claim that the doctrine of inerrancy arose first with Protestant orthodoxy, we could cite numerous examples from the ancient and medieval church. It was Augustine who first coined the term "inerrant," and Luther and Calvin can speak of Scripture as free from error.
B.B. Warfield, Biblical Inerrancy, and Evolution
During the late 19th century when critical views of Scripture came to prevail in American universities, Warfield was responsible for refurbishing the conviction that the Bible communicates revelation from God entirely without error. Yet while he defended biblical inerrancy, Warfield was also a cautious, discriminating, but entirely candid proponent of the possibility of evolution.
Understanding the Human Dimension of Scripture
Old Princeton and the Dutch Calvinists understood that the human dimension of Scripture—which pervades Scripture thoroughly—is not merely tolerable of a divine book, but a necessary component of what inspiration means.
B. B. Warfield and the "Human Side" of the Bible
With Christ, his humanity is essential to who he is. Likewise, the Bible's "human side" is an essential part of what Scripture is, and recognizing this has practical implications.
What's Art Got to Do With It?
This video features a discussion with Mark Sprinkle -- painter, educator, writer, and BioLogos Senior Fellow -- about the relationship between art and science.

Little Lawyers Everywhere (Redux)
So here's a re-hash of my third blog post, from last August.
Ever wonder what makes a good lawyer? Behold, it is your little one, the super lawyer in the car seat. Kids come armed with the skills of a trained litigator, trial lawyers growing in the womb.
Instinctively expert at forum shopping, manipulation, and debate, they could bloody F. Lee Bailey in the backyard wading pool long before they're eight. Masterful negotiators, stern and forceful promulgators (DO NOT ETER THIS ROOM UNLESS YOU KNOCK FIST), they come equipped with elephant memories and perfectly callibrated bull sh-t meters.
As adults we loom large, the inevitable and unwitting targets of these formidable foes. Even the most stalwart of parents will disintegrate in a face-off with these verbal warriors. "Alright, damn it. Go have a sugar coma. Eat the blasted cookie."
But be forewarned: this Perry Mason moment is kiddie catnip to a child, compelling him to pursue more victories with the tenacity of a crack addict.
So when your little one arrives, it's time to get down and lawyered up. Here, a brief tutorial of what to expect from your litigator.
* Forum shopping: which parent (or third party) is most likely to give the kid what he wants? Mr. M is a champion forum shopper. As in, "Hmm. I would like a Sprite. Who best to prey upon at this moment? Mom? The waiter? (as I exit for the bathroom) Yes, the waiter. I'll order up a Sprite right now." (See also shuttle diplomacy, as in "Dad, Mom said I can't have any chocolate milk, but I know you'll say yes since I haven't had any sugar all day.")
* Cross-examination (a/k/a beating a dead horse): kids just know how many times and in how many ways they must ask a question to get the right answer. Mr. M: "But you just said you wanted me to be excited on my first day of school. Are you now saying I CANNOT have this new lunch box? Have you lost your mind? Have you already forgotten what you said?" (See also, framing the issue)
* Framing the issue: you can get the answer you want to any question, so long as you ask the right question. Mr. M: "Mom, you want me to be the happiest kid there is, right?" (Me, like Charlie Brown's teacher: wonk wonk wonk) "Okay. You're the one who said it. I get to wear my Spiderman suit every day at school for the first week. It's all settled then." (Me: wonk wonk WONK!)
They also try their luck at framing the answer. Me: "Why are these dirty clothes on the floor next to the hamper?!" Mr. M: "I aimed wrong."
* Preemptive Strikes: They'll just answer the question for you. Get ready for the ubiquitous, "Okaaaay . . . I'll take that as a yes," when you are on the phone with the teacher, doing CPR on your neighbor, or are otherwise overwhelmed. And when all else fails for the child litigator, you may hear, "Alright. That's your final answer! By the way, today is opposite day!"

We've been telling our kids they'd make great lawyers since they were old enough to talk. Or at least since we spent thousands of dollars having them taught to talk.
The Engineer, for example, is a master of circular logic. By the time he's done, I can't even remember the original pitch.
The Grouch is our forum shopper. (That's a GREAT phrase. Gotta remember that).
The Goth is the master of framing the issue, usually in terms of some bizarre science junk (he's the guy who's room IS organized. Chronologically, by smell).
And Stretch is the Ethicist. You wouldn't want to get caught treating any of your sons DIFFERENTLY, right? That wouldn't be fair...
I can't understand why none of them want to go into law. The Goth, especially, would be great. But he has this strange notion that he wants to WRITE. Hmmm, I wonder where he got that?

Pulsipher, get ready. Kids? They'll run rings around you and you will marvel at your perceived dumbness.
Mother, your kids have totally missed their calling. Circular reasoning and all that? They're golden. Re the forum shopping, I call it parent shopping at my house and the penalty is death. Well . . . almost death. No sugar, anyway.
Becky, it's like the old cartoonist (damn it, am having a senior moment and can't remember him) who drew the Ginger, blah blah dog. Was it the Cavlin & Hobbes guy? Doggone it why can't I remember this cartoonist! Must take my gingobiloka.
Maven, most police use brute force to cooerce confessions. Sorry to break the news to you. Advise your kids to hold tight and do nothing wrong. That way they're at least semi-protected from police brutality. Semi, anyway.
Vered, yes, it was quite weird. Bernanke said the economy was like a snake and then he started growling, which made absolutely no sense. The folks in Congress seemed unphased (in my dream) but all the bloggers lept up and ran to their keyboards. I am truly sick to have a dream like this.
Mayor, you can get away with amazing stuff as a lawyer. Only just don't be texting during trial. The TX Supreme Court saw nothing wrong with a defense atty who slumbered through an entire trial but the U.S. Supremes thought better.
Thanks, Alice's world, I am feeling better. Not so much fever, not so much coughing.
I think the Geithner plan is what made me sick. I promise more details will be forthcoming. Just don't want to nail it to the cross until I'm sure. At this point, though, I'm pretty sure. Hopefully will have it up by Thurs. or Friday. - April 7, 2009 at 9:34 PM

Kids are much better lawyers than me. They even beat me in the "oh YEAH?" litigatorial matches. And their quick to pick up on the fact that a tort is both legal and culinary. I 'tweren't.
I did try to play a lawyer once with one of my scammers...my "Release of Hold Harry the Hamas Hamster Harmless" document to a scammer would have been better writ by a real lawyer, including one in the 5-9 year old range.

Some teen heartthrobs disappear into relative obscurity. Others, like
Joshua Jackson, grow up...then lie in wait for a worthy opportunity.
After six seasons of playing Pacey Witter on Dawsons Creek, Joshua
returned to the small screen on the Fox show Fringe as Peter Bishop,
a smart underachiever who helps the FBI solve paranormal mysteries.
With a hit show and a hot girlfriend (actress Diane Kruger), the handsome
30-year-old is on top of the world.
Tell us what you were up to during the five years
between Dawsons Creek and Fringe.
I was growing up. I came off that show when I was about to turn 25 and was kind of
exhausted. I needed to figure out whether I was going to be any
good as an actor
and as a man. I was working on smaller things.
Any close calls on the Fringe set?
During a torture scene,
I had a wire up my nose, and it pierced my sinus. I was gushing blood.
Thats when you realize what you do for a living is totally absurd.
Was it love at first sight for you and Diane?
I was smitten. I dont know how smitten she was. It took much convincing on
my part, but thats okay. Every man likes to chase.
What is the best gift she has given you?
She gave me an incredibly nice watch that has With love, D engraved on the back.
Do you and your character have anything in common?
Neither of us are joiners. Im not religious, mostly because I think the
organization of it perverts the idea of spirituality.

Carlisle's Richard Rose Central Academy in special measures again
Last updated at 11:23, Saturday, 23 February 2013
Carlisle's Central Academy school has been rated "inadequate" and plunged into special measures for a second time.
Government inspectors say standards at the flagship Richard Rose Central Academy are not acceptable.
Staff and governors are said to be devastated at the judgement.
Education watchdog Ofsted has given the city centre secondary its lowest rating in every area examined – pupil achievement, teaching quality, pupil behaviour and safety and leadership and management.
Inspectors say "systemic weaknesses" in leadership have "slowed the pace and momentum for improvement" since the 1,000-pupil academy was previously assessed.
The damning verdict follows an inspection last month.
Governors say they are determined the school will recover and have already appointed highly-regarded schools leader Derek Davies as executive principal of Central and its sister Carlisle academy Morton to tackle concerns.
Property magnate Brian Scowcroft, the school's chairman of governors, said in a letter to parents: "The result of the inspection is that the academy requires special measures to secure improvement. This is very disappointing but we, the governing body, fully accept Ofsted's findings and conclusions on the issues the academy urgently needs to address."
Special measures are imposed when a school fails to provide an acceptable standard of education and does not show capacity to make necessary improvements. In Central's case, inspectors say:
- The achievement of students is inadequate and standards are too low, particularly in English, maths and science. Far fewer students than nationally make the expected progress in these subjects.
- Too much teaching is inadequate or requires improvement. There is not enough good or outstanding teaching to overcome students' past underachievement.
- Teachers do not demand enough of students and marking does not always tell students how they can improve.
- Middle leaders do not all have high enough expectations of students or the necessary expertise to ensure good progress.
- A significant minority of students do not behave well enough and disrupt lessons. Teachers are not always successful at tackling this.
- Attendance is well below the national average and showing only limited improvement.
- Governance is inadequate. Since the previous inspection, the governing body has not ensured that the academy has improved its performance. Governors have not had enough information and guidance to help them rigorously question leaders about the quality of teaching, behaviour and students' progress.
Its strengths, however, are students feeling safe, with good relationships; subjects and a curriculum that generally meets pupil needs and has a positive impact; and the achievement of sixth form students in vocational courses. A higher proportion of sixth form teaching is judged as good.
The last time Central plunged into special measures was just three months after its creation in 2008.
School leaders have been trying to make improvements. Special measures first time around were lifted after 20 months and the academy was rated "satisfactory" with "good" capacity for improvement at its last inspection in 2010.
But changes have not been at the pace demanded. Inspection standards have also been raised.
Mr Davies, a former National Leader of Education who took a school from special measures to outstanding in four years, will work with headteachers at both academies. Mr Scowcroft says he has the experience to move the schools forward "at pace".
Central was created as one of the country's first academies following the merger of the former St Aidan's and North Cumbria Technology College.
The rate of pupils achieving the Government's benchmark of five A*-C GCSEs or equivalents, including English and maths, rose by six percentage points in the last academic year, to 37 per cent. The national average was 59.4 per cent. Cumbria's was 56.1 per cent.

Have your say
This is currantly the school i am at and the standers are very poor, Like in some i=of the previouse coments some teachers do not get the help they are needed in some of my clases the help that the techers need is unbelivably poor the techers get no help at all with students that dont want to learn need taken out and put somewere else for the student that wont to learn but it is not happening!
Exhausted Primary Teachers first paragraph sums it up for me. Education and Respect starts at home. I suspect the problems at RRCA are more to do with the parenting of the pupils rather than the teachers and management. But hey, it's easier to blame the teaching staff isn't it???

FOSS on the front lines of business
Doghouse – Working Smarter
Start-ups, resource-poor enterprises, and nimble organizations turn to Free and Open Source Software to help solve their business problems.
A universal truth operates in countries around the world: Small and medium-sized businesses generate between 80 and 90 percent of the private sector industrial wealth (i.e., non-government, non-military, non-agricultural). Although large companies that manufacture such things as cars or provide such services as telephone communications employ lots of people, the greatest number of people employed and the greatest amount of products produced and services provided come from companies employing one to 500 people.
Many of these companies last only a few years before going bankrupt, merging, or being bought, but during their existence, they generate jobs, develop products, and inspire others. They are the core of business enterprise. Using an example from the automotive industry, these companies manufacture many of the parts that go into the creation of the cars – and a generous set of replacement parts for the aftermarket.

How can evolution account for the complexity of life on earth today?
A complex biological structure with many interacting parts might appear, at first glance, as if it were originally created in its present form with all its interlocking components fully formed and intact. It doesn't seem possible that they developed step by step via biological evolution. In Darwin's Black Box, Michael Behe introduces a term that he and other proponents of Intelligent Design use for this concept: irreducible complexity.
What is evolution?
Evolution is the biological model for the history of life on Earth. While some consider evolution to be equivalent to atheism, BioLogos sees evolution as a description of how God created all life. Evolution refers to descent with modification. Small modifications occur at the genetic level (in DNA) with each generation, and these genetic changes can affect how the creature interacts with its environment. Over time, accumulation of these genetic changes can alter the characteristics of the whole population, and a new species appears. Major changes in life forms take place by the same mechanism but over even longer periods of time. All life today can be traced back to a common ancestor some 3.85 billion years ago.
Evolution and the Origin of Biological Information
In this paper, Venema explores several examples in biology where random mutation and natural selection have indeed led to substantial increases in biological information. The question of how new specified information arises in DNA, far from being an "enigma", is one of great interest to biologists.
Does thermodynamics disprove evolution?
A common argument against biological evolution is that the theory contradicts the second law of thermodynamics. The second law says that disorder, or entropy, always increases or stays the same over time. How then can evolution produce more complex life forms over time? The answer is that the second law is only valid in closed systems with no external sources of energy. Since the Earth receives continual energy from the Sun, the second law does not apply.
How does the evil and suffering in the world align with the idea of a loving God?
The most ancient and persistent objection to God's existence is the problem of evil. How can a loving, powerful God allow so much evil and suffering in the world? The problem of evil has no simple answer, but many philosophers, theologians and others have developed helpful insights.

'Cause you ain't done nothing, if you ain't been called a red,
If you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said,
So you might as well ignore it, and learn to love the word instead,
'Cause you ain't been doing nothing, if you ain't been called a red.
Here are the words to that song that I love to sing at rallies and picket lines.
Faith Petric
When I was just a little thing I used to love parades. With banners, bands, red balloons, and maybe lemonade. When I came home one May Day, my neighbour's father said, "Them marchers is all commies. Tell me kid, are you a Red?" Well I didn't know just what he meant- my hair back then was brown. Our house was plain red brick- like most others in the town. So I went and asked my momma why our neighbour called me red. My mummy took me on her knee and this is what she said, "Well ya ain't done nothing if ya ain't been called a Red. If you marched or agitated, then you're bound to hear it said. So you might as well ignore it or love the word instead. Cuz ya ain't been doing nothing if ya ain't been called a Red." When I was growing up, had my troubles I suppose. When someone took exception to my face or to my clothes. Or tried to cheat me on the job or hit me on the head. When I organized to fight back, why the stinkers called me Red But ya ain't done nothing if ya ain't been called a Red if you marched or agitated, then you're bound to hear it said. So you might as well ignore it or love the word instead. Cuz ya ain't been doing nothing if ya ain't been called a Red. When I was living on my own, one apartment that I had. Had a lousy rotten landlord Let me tell you he was bad. But when he tried to throw me out, I rubbed my hands and said, "You haven't seen a struggle if you haven't fought a Red!" And ya ain't done nothing if ya ain't been called a Red. If you marched or agitated, then you're bound to hear it said. So you might as well ignore it or love the word instead. Cuz ya ain't been doing nothing if ya ain't been called a Red.

I have been struggling with what to write for my opening Patch blog—with so many issues near and dear to my heart, including my passions: community public safety, student safety, and general health and wellness—how would I decide where to begin blogging?
Last week there was a school shooting in Chardon, Ohio, a town about 30 miles outside of Cleveland. The suspect has been described by the Associated Press "as an outcast who had apparently been bullied." At this writing, three students are dead and two remain injured.
Recently we have seen local news stories of teen alcohol and drug use in and around our high schools. We have experienced the tragedy of teen suicides by victims of bullying in our county in the recent past. In April of 2009, less than three years ago, a bomb plot was thwarted at Springbrook High School that targeted the school's principal and a school counselor. Just two weeks ago we saw a school lunch fight videotaped and uploaded to YouTube while the fight was still in progress. And let's not forget the Discovery building active-shooter response so carefully handled by our county's first responders in September 2010. Yes, these are just a few of the bad things have happened right here in Montgomery County—that have been broadcasted.
We must examine our culture closely: How could a school shooting like this happen in our country in this day and age, and what will prevent it from happening here? What other issues are we willing to pretend can't or won't happen here? What collaborative efforts are ongoing in Montgomery County to ensure incidents like this don't happen here, and are handled successfully when they do?
Montgomery County is, indeed, one of the greatest places to live—therefore, we, as community members, need to make sure we are recognizing, addressing and confronting these issues head-on to prevent future tragedies. We mustn't pretend these things won't happen here, because many of them already have—many underreported and unpublicized.
Together we must acknowledge these issues and threats are real, and hold our elected officials accountable to maintain adequate public safety funding to prevent them from happening here, and, at a minimum, make sure that we all--not just first responders--are trained and prepared for them in case they do.
Are WE ready? Let's start the courageous conversations now, before it's too late.
Susan Byrne

Are we talking about more policing in our schools? All but one of the community threats mentioned has to do with our youth in school settings. Let's not demonize our students. Instead, let's reinvent our schools and our community so that we are all collaborating better for everyone's mutual benefit. Adults must set the tone of inclusion and support and positive coaching that gives every student the realization that they are valued for their unique gifts and that they have a welcome place in the community. Schools where students are bullied, where staff and administration are viewed as the enemy, where drugs and alcohol are attractive alternatives to the reality of an education that seems purposeless or misdirected...that's not the community our youth would build for themselves. We need to do a much better job helping them build the world of their own vision.
Jeff Hawkins

Good words Susan....well said, I agree 100%.
My own 2 cents would be that in reality there really isn't a "damn" thing anyone can do if someone is bent on doing harm to others. Having said that we can help to do a better job of "setting the table" for our kids.
My personal opinion is that parenting is lacking in a lot of cases. We have an awful lot of adults out there that can't or don't want to grow up themselves. We need more civic minded folks, I don't see alot of that anymore.
12:43 pm on Tuesday, March 6, 2012
I don't think she is demonizing students at all. Quite the opposite, it's a focus on preventing potential tragedies for our kids.
We have good students in our schools who sometimes make bad decisions - a natural part of growing up. Some of those bad decisions have inconsequential effects on family and friends, while others have life-altering effects. Our county council has chosen to have one of the most lean police departments in the nation - that's a fact. Similarly, while most jurisdictions are increasing or just maintaining their spending on school resource officers, Montgomery County has voted, two years in a row, to ELIMINATE ours. That's not an effective preventative on safety for our children. The County Executive does not value the SRO program, while the police, administrators, teachers and parents do.
The one place where the police can develop relationships with the largest number of youth and get to know them before crimes are committed more than any other is in our schools. Schools serve as our kids' community for 10 months out of every year and approximately 35 hours out of every week.
I believe in what she's blogging and think we need to take a harder look at the "ounce of prevention" piece.
1:18 pm on Tuesday, March 6, 2012
Thanks for writing this Susan!!
I applaud the lone principal who's willing to admit there are kids- good kids, who are starting to head down the wrong path, and then take action for prevention and appropriate discipline- with open forums, presentations, communication, and disciplinary action.
Since this is a problem all over the country, and NO area is immune to it, It's sad that some figures of authority are afraid to reach out to the community with open communication - fearing it will lower the value of their schools.
Not all problems can be solved with attempts at prevention and displine, but one cannot hide their heads in the sand. You have to try- and leave no stones unturned.
Richard Rice

Excellent comment Lori and Susan; the entire future of our county and state
lies in the education and upbringing of our youth. We can't afford not to
pour our hearts, souls and money into their future and ours!

Really good questions. I find myself looking around my daughter's high school.. wondering if this kid or that kid might be a danger, and if he or she would get the help they need before another tragedy happens.
It's not a magic cure, but there's a lot of research into what makes teenagers stressed, depressed,anxious and likely to make risky choices. Studies on chronic sleep deprivation and the mis-match between the teen body clock and very early high school start times indicate that pushing the school day back, just a bit, can have significant benefits in these mental health areas - as well as physical health and a long list of other issues. It's worth taking a look at as something that could help lessen the stress, anxiety and depression that many high schoolers are dealing with.
Start School Later was started by a group of parents in Severna Park, Maryland, and we're working to bring awareness to the issue of too-early start times. We have a petition asking for an 8 a.m. earliest start time across the country so that individual school boards aren't pressured into sending our kids to school in the dark to save money on bus runs or squeeze an extra hour into sports practice.
Let's say no to sending our kids to school in the dark.
www.startschoollater.net for more information and the petition is at http://bit.ly/tWa4dS
Susan Byrne

@Heather, thank you for the Start School Later connection! Very informative and I have signed on after reading all the impressive testimony, science, and list of expert witnesses. Sleep deprivation and stressful schedules are certain among the list of "usual suspects" in causing breakdowns in function, attitude, and behavior. This is definitely something to be taken into account in promoting a better educational program for our students.
Susan Byrne
2:56 pm on Wednesday, March 7, 2012
While SRO staffing can be a positive means to improving school safety, it is best to first ensure that more fundamental approaches are in place and practiced with fidelity by each school. Those include adequate counseling staff, effective educational programming, strong school-community relationships and communication fostering connectedness within the school community, and adequate supports for at-risk students. There is room for improvement in most MCPS schools. We should exert effort and resources toward these more productive means to the end of peace and harmony first. Without them, adding SRO staff would be less effective and perhaps even counterproductive.
Susan Burkinshaw
12:49 pm on Thursday, March 8, 2012
School Resource Officer (SRO) programs are a best practice across the country. In our region, Montgomery County is currently the only jurisdiction to have cut funding to this prevention and intervention program over the past few years.
An effective SRO program is not a substitute for anything you have mentioned above within the school system, but is critical partnership between MCPS and MCPD that benefits not only the schools, but also the greater community surrounding the schools, and ultimately all residents of the county.
Kids can't learn in an unsafe environment and we have a responsibility to make sure we are doing absolutely everything possible to maintain the sanctity of the learning environment. Anything short is a disservice to our kids, and, ultimately our community. We have to look at why other communities see the importance of SROs and some elected officials in Montgomery County don't see the need (thankfully most County Council Members have recently recognized the immeasurable value of the SRO program).
We need to collaborate and work together to make sure ALL resources are in place for everyone's safety, but particularly for our kids in schools.
This is not just a school issue, it is a community issue. As observed by Richard Rice above--we can't afford not to be doing everything we can for our kids, and ultimately our community.
Susan Byrne
1:53 pm on Thursday, March 8, 2012
From the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing
"Studies of SRO effectiveness that have measured actual safety outcomes have mixed results. Some show an improvement in safety and a reduction in crime; others show no change. Typically, studies that report positive results from SRO programs rely on participants' perceptions of the effectiveness of the program rather than on objective evidence. Other studies fail to isolate incidents of crime and violence, so it is impossible to know whether the positive results stem from the presence of SROs or are the result of other factors. More studies would be helpful, particularly research to understand the circumstances under which SRO programs are most likely to be successful."
Now consider the "school to prison pipeline" problem (https://www.schooltoprison.org/) and all the evidence of how early on our schools mismanage student outcomes. Recently collected and released statistics on school suspension, retention, expulsion, seclusion, and restraint all show how poorly our educational institutions respond to behavioral challenges (http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2012/03/07/23data_ep.h31.html?tkn=ZYNFufbdskFDgZqRykv4QZjUKfG0mVDMPk7r&cmp=clp-edweek). I cannot find any evidence that suggests that MCPS, or any other schools, can cure these social ills with more policing. What students require is personal engagement, not policing and "consequences".
2:53 pm on Thursday, March 8, 2012
Ms. Byrne, with all due respect, please feel free to share with us just one study on the efficacy of an SRO program in which the crimes prevented was a statistic. Answer is, there aren't any, nor are there stats collected by our police to capture those stories.
Susan Byrne
4:01 pm on Thursday, March 8, 2012
The statistics that are pertinent are those documented by the Department of Education and the Office of Civil Rights, released in a public report just this week.
"According to Education Department analysis of other civil rights data it also unveiled today, black and Hispanic students face disproportionate levels of discipline—more than 70 percent of students arrested or referred to law enforcement were Hispanic or black, as one example. Black students were 3 ½ times more likely to be expelled than their white peers. And while black students represented 21 percent of students with disabilities in the data analyzed, they represented 44 percent of students who were subjected to mechanical restraint."
SRO efficacy is inconclusive at best; more studies are needed to determine whether and how it can be successfully implemented to achieve its stated objective. Meanwhile, we can identify policies and practices that are proven to better support students, provide positive behavioral support school-wide ("Check In Check Out" and "Collaborative Problem Solving" among them) and are known to contribute to successful student outcomes. We can justify allocating community resources and tax dollars best with such approaches that have strong evidence of efficacy. If SRO better addresses student success, I would appreciate the evidence.
