PIKE ROAD, Ala. (WSFA) – A new safety plan is coming to Pike Road Schools. Superintendent Keith Lankford said the school district made the move because of “recent events in our surrounding area and around the state.”
Lankford added that all school systems need to stop and rethink how students, teachers, parents and community members are safe during school-sponsored activities.
The district said the following changes will be made immediately:
“Most importantly, if you see something, say something,” Lankford said. “Local school resource officers (SROs) and private security personnel will be on duty during school sponsored events. Pike Road Schools administration and school staff will also be present and ready to help in any way if needed.”
The district said these changes will help create an environment where students feel safe and honored throughout all levels of competition.
