Abstract: National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day, established in 2022 and celebrated on February 15th, provides a focal point for exploring the role of School Resource Officers (SROs) in Midwestern school districts. Through qualitative research involving interviews with 10 administrators, this study examined how districts decide to add, eliminate, or maintain SROs. Triangulated data, including interviews and policy reviews, offered comprehensive insights into the decision-making processes and key factors involved. Findings revealed the significant influence of student safety, emotional triggers, and budget considerations on administrators' choices regarding SRO presence. Utilizing the constant comparative method, data analysis identified distinct categories, enhancing our understanding of influencing factors. This study contributes valuable insights into the changing aspects surrounding SROs in Midwestern school districts, emphasizing the importance of future research-informed decision-making.
