School Safety Initiatives
SCHOOL SAFETY - SCHOOL SAFETY IS ONE OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT'S TOP PRIORITIES. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, OUR SCHOOLS HAVE INVESTED IN ADDITIONAL SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT. THE BARTLESVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS NOW HAVE A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER ASSIGNED TO EACH OF ITS SCHOOL SITES. THEY ARE FULLY TRAINED POLICE OFFICERS. THE BPS FOUNDATION HAS PARTNERED WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS INCLUDING TRAINING (ATTENDING NATIONAL AND STATE LEVEL SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER CONFERENCES) AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT PRIORITIZED BY THE BARTLESVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS DIRECTOR OF HEALTH AND SAFETY. THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY WELL RECEIVED BY OUR SCHOOL STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS AND BY OUR COMMUNITY. THE BPS FOUNDATION CONTINUES TO PASS 100% OF FUNDS RAISED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM ON TO SUPPORT SCHOOL SAFETY AND THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OUR SCHOOL PRIORITIZE.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$108KBizTown Educational Initiative
