The Education Justice Taskforce, consisting of the Education Justice Alliance, Advancement Project, Emancipate NC, and Legal Aid of NC, has recently launched a new webpage for submitting complaints about misconduct by School Resource Officers (SROs) in North Carolina schools. The webpage offers guidance on how to file a complaint against an SRO and also provides a means for individuals to request a know-your-rights training concerning SROs.
The new SRO Complaint system provides students and parents with the support needed to submit and monitor formal complaints against school police officers and school security guards who violate rights and harm students attending school or participating in school-related activities. The webpage also links viewers to a toolkit for attorneys or legal organizations to evaluate potential litigation claims against an SRO following an incident. You can access that toolkit here.
