Ensuring the safety of our children and teachers is not a choice—it's a commitment. We cannot compromise on this responsibility, which is why we must maintain the presence of School Resource Officers (SROs) in all Rutherford County public schools. Statistics show that SROs play an important role in keeping our campuses secure. According to the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO), SROs decrease the likelihood of violent incidents on school property, and their presence has a deterrent effect on crime. By discarding this critical safety support, we risk endangering those who depend on us the most—our children and educators. We must make a stand. The safety of our children and teachers cannot be compromised. Sign this petition today to show your commitment to keeping School Resources Officers in all Rutherford County public schools.
