Some parents and police in the Palm Springs area were shocked to discover there would be no police officers on campus when children returned to classes in Palm Springs Unified School District (PSUSD) earlier this month.

PSUSD has stated there will continue to be security guards, but police school resource officers (SROs) are no longer stationed at district high schools.
