School resource officer reports drop in vaping incidents, outlines drills and early-intervention work
Summary
Clayton Parle, the district’s school resource officer, reported a drop in vaping reports (from about 30 last year to six this year), described canine searches that produced deterrent detections, and summarized lockdown drills and early-intervention practices intended to keep students safe.
School Resource Officer Clayton Parle, a sworn officer with the Door County Sheriff’s Office assigned to the district, delivered the midyear safety update Jan. 19.
Parle reported that canine sniff searches produced five detections that did not result in contraband recoveries, which he said still function as a deterrent. He told the board that lockdown drills follow the district’s two-per-year policy and described the "hide" portion of run–hide–fight practiced this year, when students stayed quiet, turned off lights, closed blinds and locked doors. Parle said the district places high value on early intervention — training, threat assessments and connections to county services — to address concerning behavior before it escalates.
On disciplinary statistics, Parle reported 10 referrals to juvenile services so far this year (nine from the high school, one from the middle school), two citations, and one written warning. He highlighted a substantial reduction in vaping reports: about 30 possible incidents reported by this time last year versus six reported incidents so far this school year.
Parle closed by encouraging the board to seek copies of his slides and data; administrators said the SRO would make those materials available to board members.
