Horne held a news conference on the issue of school security a day before officials with the Phoenix Union High School District are set a meeting on whether or not to reinstate SROs at its campuses.

Superintendent Horne's comment came amid a number of school shootings, and ahead of a PXU meeting on the issue that is scheduled for Apr. 13. Officials with Horne's office touted some numbers that claim in one poll that sampled 600 parents across Arizona, 80% of those who responded said they supported SROs. Figures for a separate poll of PXU parents reportedly show they are also in favor of SROs.
