They used to have MPD officers who escorted the students from KIPP to the METRO station. They'd be the ones to keep the students from loitering or fighting. It was called "Safe Passage" but since the gutting of the School Resource Officer program, they no longer do this.

The Mayor has talked about how the school Resource officers (SrO) were principals eyes and ears for troubled kids. Principals now feel they are @blind” without them. Worst part is, the SRO’s have greatly diminished but there are still some. Imagine when we have none!
