   What is an SRO? Why do we have them?

    An SRO is a School Resource Officer.  He/she is a commissioned police officer serving in a jurisdiction covering a specific section of the district.  SRO's are under contract and report to the building Principal through the Chief of Security.  They provide the physical security for the school while it is in session as well as provide training and counseling as needed.  The District values a safe school environment, and in doing so feels that a professionally trained, commissioned police officer specializing in school issues provides the best choice.
