We have had DARE officers in our elementary schools and our junior high for several years now. The junior high DARE officer currently spends nearly half of his time in the high school. Students and staff feel comforted by their presence. Students have developed a very positive view of law enforcement as a result. The benefits of this kind of relationship are what we are looking for with this position, and we need to recognize and applaud city council for their efforts on our behalf.
Statistics show that our children our extremely safe while at school.
While we feel that our environment is safer than most, we continue to look for ways to improve the safe haven we provide for our students and staff. But, safety is not just a school issue. We all need to work together to create a safe environment, not only in our schools, but in all public places. You can help. These concerns we receive will be investigated appropriately.
