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.”

In closing he left us this this quote:

“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 question that safety will be paramount on the minds of teachers, faculty and volunteers……” Mike Fitzpatrick
