"What if it were your child, how would you feel? As your child assaulted by Vallon Smith?" asked Liza Acquah, mother of Jabari Boykins.

There will be no additional school resource officers in the Syracuse City School District. The district's board of education made that clear at an emotional public forum Thursday. 

District officials will not say when they made the decision-- or if the decision was a result of the Nottingham High School incident involving former district SRO Vallon Smith.  A $12 million civil suit claims that Smith attacked Jabari Boykins, a student at the school. Boykins suffered a broken elbow. But an investigation by the District Attorney's office cleared the officer of any wrongdoing. In April, Smith was removed as an SRO from the district.

At the forum, Boykins' mother emotionally addressed the board and Superintendent. 

"The only support I've gotten is from this community. I've not had one person from the district call me and say, 'Ms. Acquah, I apologize for what's happened to your son," said Acquah.

She and several others displayed signs reading "Counselors not Cops," pushing to remove SROs from the district. An idea the Syracuse PBA President suggested upon the removal of Officer Smith. 

"All I can tell you is that the chief of police makes those decisions and I have a very good relationship with the chief," said Syracuse City School District Supintendent Jaime Alicea.

But the district says they will not remove officers from their halls. They will not say whether or not they are replacing Officer Smith's position.  And as for the SRO hiring process, the district says they are not changing it but are reviewing their memorandum of understanding with the police department.

"We are communicating, we are working with the district and the police department having those conversations," said Alicea. 

Currently there are ten SROs throughout the district.
