In our rapidly changing world, the safety of our children in schools is a paramount concern. As Mayor, I am committed to taking the lead in the school safety conversation at the local level. We need a dedicated effort to bring together public, charter, private, and homeschool stakeholders to ensure we are doing everything possible to protect our kids and schools.
One critical aspect of our safety strategy is standardizing police response protocols across all schools in Surprise. By ensuring that law enforcement and school staff are on the same page, we can significantly reduce response times during emergencies. A unified approach means better coordination, quicker reactions, and ultimately, safer outcomes for our children.
Another priority is to work towards having a School Resource Officer (SRO) in every school. SROs play a vital role in maintaining a secure environment, building relationships with students, and acting as a first line of defense. Their presence not only enhances security but also fosters a sense of safety and trust within the school community.
Establishing a School Safety Committee in Surprise, AZ, will provide a platform for all educational stakeholders to collaborate, share ideas, and implement best practices. Together, we can create a safer environment for our children and ensure that our schools remain a secure place for learning and growth.
Let's make school safety a priority and work collectively to safeguard our future.
Love this Mayor!!!🙌🏽🙏🏽💕💕💕
