Greenville School Safety

While Gov. Bill Lee’s executive order on school safety signed this week does not represent local changes, school system leaders say they welcome the increased attention to school safety.State law requires that each public school conduct annual school security assessments and submit school safety plans to the Tennessee school safety center. Director of Greeneville City Schools Steve Starnes says his district is in that process now.Completing those assessments regularly each year is also a requirement of the federal Safe Schools grant, which both districts receive. That funding has been used to help fund School Resource Officers (SROs) as well as technology and renovations to enhance school safety.
