Schools scramble to fill critical SRO vacancies
During a recent government meeting, officials discussed ongoing efforts to implement new educational protocols approved by the state board, emphasizing the importance of keeping the board informed of progress. The district is committed to gathering input from teachers and staff who will be responsible for executing these changes, ensuring that existing procedures align with the new guidelines.

Additionally, concerns were raised regarding the absence of School Resource Officers (SROs) at several schools at the start of the academic year. Officials explained that SROs are provided through local law enforcement agencies, and their availability can be affected by various factors, including training schedules, retirements, and promotions. A coverage plan is in place to address these gaps, and the district is actively coordinating with law enforcement to ensure that schools are adequately staffed with SROs as soon as possible.

The district aims to resolve these issues promptly, with a focus on maintaining safety and effective communication with parents and the community.
