KINGSTON, N.Y. â City Re-envision Public Safety Task Force members have recommended that city police not be used as contracted school resource officers unless written assurance is provided that there is no role in how students are disciplined.
The recommendation was discussed during a video conference meeting Wednesday, with task force member Amy Shapiro saying there is the belief that police are too involved with students.
âOur black and brown students are disciplined in the Kingston schools disproportionately,â she said.

âWhile black students represent only 15 percent of the population in the Kingston city schools, they represent 32 percent of in-school suspensions, 36 percent of out-of-school suspensions, and 56 percent of expulsions,â Shapiro said. âA major criticism of SROs is they often become involved in routine student discipline.âÂ
