School safety and security comes from more than locked doors and security cameras. The key factor is the people who work with and build relationships with students each and every day. Our Educational Programs & Operations Levy supports over 400 staff members in positions the state underfunds or doesn't fund at all, including our School Resource Officers. SROs are Pierce County Deputies assigned to the district. This isn't a free service provided by the county. SROs are fully funded by our EP&O Levy. "Our SROs serve a dual purpose that goes far beyond emergency response," said Superintendent Brian Lowney. "They are building meaningful relationships with our students and staff, fostering trust and strengthening the fabric of our school community. Without the EP&O levy, we simply wouldn't have this vital resource."

Throughout our district, school counselors and social workers play a vital role in helping students navigate not just academics, but the social and emotional challenges that come with growing up.

Our district's commitment to student safety goes far beyond cameras and protocols. It starts with trusted adults who students feel comfortable turning to.
