Last Week at Rotary
Shannon Flounnory, Executive Director Administative Center Safety & Security
Shannon pointed out school safety concerns. Like:
- Weapons
- Drugs
- Gangs
- Acute / Chronic Fighting
- Suicide
- Human Trafficking
- Domestic Violence
- Dating Abuse
And many others.
“No matter how much money or how many safety and security
tools a facility can purchase, the most common failure to safety and security
is human error. The term “People over Products” stresses the important role of
the individuals within a school in regard to safety. It is critical to ensure
training opportunities are provided to employees and students, ensure awareness
programs are taking place for the implemented safety and security measures, and
employees and students are being empowered to be the most important line of
defense.”

“Our teachers are responsible for our children’s welfare for
the six or eight hours they are at school and we need to know that without

volunteers……” Mike Fitzpatrick
