Despite recent events in Connecticut, Stewartville Superintendent Dr. Dave Thompson wants community members to know: “Schools are still the safest place for students.”
Stewartville Public Schools have been making increased security measures since the beginning of the school year.
“We’ve installed new cameras and radios on buses and in schools, we’ve been in contact with the Safe Schools Advisory Committee and we’re working on our Crisis Policy Handbook,” said Thompson.
He added that training has been important. “We’ve been looking into all kinds of training: lock downs, fire drills and improved strategies of communication.”
Thompson said he realizes the problem can’t be solved by cameras and training alone. “It all boils down to respect,” Thompson said. “Expanding on a Respect Initiative is one of the school district’s major goals in moving forward.”
Rules are constantly changing, it takes time and effort to make security measures and technology presents new problems. “But,” Thompson remains confident, “we’re always improving.”
