The interview and the link to the petition are now live on 10TV. I really hope this draws more attention to the fact that our district, LCSO, and NPD all need to come together REGARDLESS of budgets and put our children’s safety first.. “We are always looking for ways to engage with our parents and would be willing to work together to continue improving the safety and security of our students and staff.” - David Lewis to me via email. If the superintendent is willing to make the changes then we as a community need to come together! Retired officers, trained volunteers, and programs like Watch D.O.G.S. there are creative ways to put an extra layer of protection in our schools without draining patrol resources. It’d be helpful if NPD or LCSO would hold civilian training classes and do background checks to get this going! Or if the district would find a way for this to happen. We budget for homecoming and trips to the pumpkin patch so BUGDET FOR OUR KIDS LIVES TOO! https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/newark-police-respond-second-swatting-call-of-school-year-wilson-middle-school/530-c38fb836-6d7a-4797-97cb-e131a8d173b1?fbclid=IwdGRjcAMxxPxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHsfB312qSF4JKXxALwSWpuBDPKvbGdrGOTT-JP-KDZiqDJEBYvh0sdE98bja_aem_MZk_W9oB_TBtL_j7D0iH2A#7iy5otz27rpodjgz0tvs4mkaajekxia2
