Also participating will be the Davenport Fire Department, Medic Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Management Agency of Scott County, Ryder Student Transportation, and area news media representatives.
Schools are among the safest places to be in our communities.
However, because of violent incidents in several schools across our country last year, we want to make sure we are doing everything possible with our community to curb violence and, if it happens, to lessen the harm it may cause. He and other officers have worked with Perry School to inform staff, students, parents, and neighborhood residents of the drill. We re being proactive. In addition, the Davenport district has counselors at the elementary through secondary level who are involved in the education process, working with teachers in classrooms to deliver lessons and enhance the curriculum. Everyone has responsibility for guiding the direction of kids.
