The safety of our children is of paramount importance. At CELA, ensuring a secure learning environment is essential to both students and parents. Amid recent reports of increased security threats in schools, especially Christian schools, across the United States, it's crucial that we take proactive measures to protect our most vulnerable.

According to National Center for Education Statistics, there have been a significant rise in on-campus incidents that highlight the urgent need for improved safety measures at schools. By employing a qualified security guard at CELA, we can provide an extra layer of protection, deterring potential threats and ensuring quick response times to any incidents that may occur.

The presence of a security guard would offer peace of mind to parents, students, and staff alike, knowing that someone is there solely focused on the well-being and safety of the children. Additionally, a security guard will help monitor and control access to the school premises, which is an effective way to prevent unauthorized entries and ensure that all visitors are properly processed.

We propose the immediate placement of a licensed security guard at CELA to work during school hours. This critical step is not just about responding to threats but preventing them by visibly reinforcing our school's commitment to the safety of our children.

Join us in urging the CELA administration to prioritize our children's safety by hiring a dedicated security guard. Your signature can make a significant difference. Please sign this petition to initiate a safer tomorrow for our kids.
