Three West Valley school districts brought several city fire and police departments as well as other school districts to go over safety plans and protocols on Tuesday.
BUCKEYE, AZ — The news of another mass shooting brings attention to the safety measures that are being done to keep children safe in schools.
Some of the school districts have multiple buildings spread across multiple cities, so going over plans with the different agencies is crucial. “Safety of our students, the safe and friendly environments of our schools, that is our number one priority. That is what we think day in and day out. That is what we lose sleep over,” Yslas told ABC15.
“There is no higher priority than safety. Before we even work about academics, students need to feel safe. Staff needs to feel safe and our parents need to feel safe sending their kids to our schools,” said Trey Terry, the school board president for the Agua Fria High School District.
