Board hears Safe Schools update, affirms SRO/SSO coverage across campuses
Summary
District Safe Schools staff reported the 2024–25 risk assessment is underway, earlier reactionary incidents were handled with law enforcement and principals, and the district affirmed SRO/SSO coverage on every campus; board members praised law-enforcement relationships.
Administrators presented the Safe Schools update and described ongoing risk-assessment work for the 2024–25 year. The presenter said earlier reactionary incidents earlier in the year were handled promptly with local law enforcement and building principals, and credited the presence of SROs (school resource officers) and SSOs (school safety officers) at each campus with helping get ahead of issues.
The speaker described the cumulative years of law-enforcement experience supporting the district’s SRO/SSO team and noted that those relationships often enable officers to get to the root of student concerns before incidents escalate. Board members thanked law enforcement partners — including the Morehead Police Department and Rowan County Sheriff’s Office as mentioned in the presentation — and affirmed continued investment in the program.
No formal action was taken; the Safe Schools update was presented as an information item and staff said the district will continue the risk-assessment process and work with the state Safe Schools auditor as required by Kentucky statute.
