Excerpt from an e-mail I received from Executive Student Council President (and yes, I am going to insist on writing that title out every single time) Bennett Stein:
"you know Dr. Roberts, Mr. White, and Officer Foster keep talking about the 582 thefts at Pioneer last year? Well after looking at the incidents-128 of these were lost reports, 16 were found (includes both lost and stolen), 3 were vehicle damage, 10 were unspecified. So 157 of the reported 582 thefts (27%) were actually not stolen items. Along with that, of the 445 stolen items not stolen, 240 (54%) occurred in areas that will not be under surveillance with the proposal including locker room, classroom, gym, library, and auditorium."
Plus, once you take into consideration all the new anti-theft policies this year, we could be looking at a huge drop in thefts this year. Wouldn't it make sense to wait until the end of the year (when we received official statistics) to make a decision on the cameras?
Remember, people, you can follow Bennett's lead and use our email, pioneer.uncovered@gmail.com, to communicate with us, whether it's questions, comments, or tips.

yeah, you're right, officer foster and mr. white have both said there has been a drop in theft and violence this year. they still have not supplied us with the data from this year, but they have both said there has been a decrease. officer foster said he was optimistic. how can we turn away from evidence based decision making?
