This study borrows its title from the hashtag #CopsoutCPS, which is a student-led movement in Chicago to end the School Resource Officer (SRO) Program and divest from policing in Chicago Public Schools. This case study cross-analyzes student, staff, and community narratives on the transitional developments in alternative safety and student supports following the removal of SROs. In this school, SROs were removed a vote by a multi-stakeholder Local School Council. This study holds true that counter-stories from, staff, and community members organizing in solidarity with those most impacted by the school and prison nexus serve as the best evidence available to researchers and advocates--not only on the harm done by carceral school discipline systems, but also on potential alternative safety and support systems for racial justice that move toward an abolitionist horizon. This research is invested in student and community perspectives as vital contextualization of the progress of school decarceration approaches and contributes a Critical Race Methodology and abolitionist framework to the growing volume of school safety research.
