❌ SB318
Allow law enforcement to provide certain school resource services
Summary
The bill authorizes law enforcement agencies to provide school resource officer services to chartered nonpublic schools in Ohio, requiring a memorandum of understanding between the school and the law enforcement agency. It establishes training requirements for school resource officers and outlines their roles and responsibilities within the school environment. The bill also allows for certain exemptions regarding training for officers appointed before a specified date.
Rationale
The bill increases government involvement in schools through law enforcement presence, which conflicts with Libertarian principles of limited government and individual rights. It may also lead to increased state control over educational environments, which is contrary to the LPO's advocacy for minimal government intervention.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over educational institutions
- Potential for over-policing in schools
- Erosion of parental rights in educational settings
