We believe that parents, students, teachers, administrators, and support staff all have roles in keeping our schools safe. All schools have crisis plans and safety plans that are reviewed annually. School resource officers are based at each high school. Each officer also is responsible for a middle school and four elementary schools. The officers handle all law enforcement matters that occur within the school and the school safety zone, which is the 1,000 ft. area around school property.
Officers act as mentors, mediators, teachers, friends and confidants to the students.
All school buses are equipped with video cameras. Video cameras also record activities in school hallways and outdoor areas. Hand-held metal detectors are available in all secondary schools in the event administrators receive a report of a weapon. Dress codes and behavior codes are enforced by each school. Unannounced searches of parking lots by police dogs are conducted periodically throughout the year.
