School Safety and Security

School safety and security is a top priority at Stone County School District!

At Stone County School District, Security Resource Officers are assigned to all schools. Our officers are professionally trained and have previously worked in other law enforcement agencies. Their primary duties at SCSD are to enforce the law, act as a resource with respect to delinquency prevention, provide guidance on law-related issues, provide individual and group support to students, and to explain to students the role of law enforcement in society.

The Stone County School District in partnership with local law enforcement is dedicated to maintaining a safe and secure academic environment. 

Each and every one of us is an important part of this effort. It is imperative that a proactive mindset is maintained every day in our schools, and that students, staff, and visitors immediately report any suspicious behavior to the school authorities and to appropriate law enforcement. 

We have implemented a system of safety measures in our schools that include but are not limited to the following:

  • Daily working partnership with local law enforcement, including the assignment of School Resource Officers at each school location
  • District-wide radio system to facilitate emergency communications
  • Access control system and protocol
  • Formal crisis plans at district and building levels
  • Monthly emergency drills

 We are committed to ongoing assessment of best safety practices to ensure we are providing the safest learning environment possible for our students, staff, and community.
