You can't be everywhere. I have no idea if they had radio communications with the staffer who spotted Cruz.
Some hs and junior high campuses have gotten so large and so filled with electronics that simplex (portable to portable) radio communications is no longer possible. A radio repeater is often required, but not always installed, to talk across the campus.
And many times the SRO's have radios on their LEO radio system but those systems don't always have signal coverage inside the school buildings. Newer buildings, if the community required it by code, have in-building amplifiers to enhance coverage for portable users. I have also seen SRO's use an in-car repeater to relay signals from their portable to their car radio in order to maintain communications.
