What does the school division do well in providing for school safety and security?
Great SRO program, security assistants in every building, drills for emergencies, hard to get into our buildings.
What gaps exist regarding school safety and security that need to be addressed?
I think we need fencing around our buildings. For some schools, anyone can walk right onto the grounds from a number of locations. I think we need to make sure our security assistants are more visible and not just during lunch. They should have regular "patrols" I think sometimes we have too many and am not sure what they do most of the day.
What new resources can be added or what existing resources can be used in different ways to strengthen school safety and security?
I think we should look at how we screen people coming into the schools to make sure no one can walk past a security desk. I think everyone should have an ID--even kids. Please don't arm teachers.
