The Oregon School District Board, Wis. is asking the Village of Oregon to reconsider the school resource officer agreement for the new school year, as it allows the police chief to direct the housing of an AR-15 style assault riffle in the high school for safety. 

New data from the Institute of Education Sciences reveals that more schools are hiring school resource officers.

The fourth edition of the guidelines is completely revised and greatly expanded to now cover best practices on a district-wide level that relate to safety and security and additional areas such as school transportation, cybersecurity and network infrastructure, architectural features and emergency communications.

The goal of schools and education, in general, is to foster an environment that promotes learning and development for students.

A new program in Alabama would enable administrators of schools without an SRO or security officer to keep a firearm in a secured safe on campus for use during an active shooter event.

The Secret Service is releasing new guidelines on enhancing school safety, based on research from the National Threat Assessment Center.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice has awarded grants to close to 300 school districts and private schools, awarding 40 more on Tuesday.

“One of the key components to ensuring comprehensive school safety is an effective school resource officer,” says Atif Qarni, Secretary of Education. “This funding will greatly help schools partner with officers to promote safety of our students and schools.”
