There was a general discussion about the SRO program. Jonen shared that current SRO
Kyle Schewe is an excellent partner and provides a good working relationship. She
reviewed the activities that he is involved in providing training and direction to the
students. She noted that Officer Schewe does monthly safety checks through the school,
checking on locked doors and vulnerable spaces. He works with the Building and Grounds
Department making adjustments as necessary to continually improve security.

the packet before the meeting, allowing sufficient time for the members to review
everything.
