SUMMARY:PARENTS REQUEST SCHOOL BOARD OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY TO IMPROVE SCHOOL SECURITY
DESCRIPTION:VERO BEACH\, FL (APRIL 13\, 2023):  All across our nation gun violence at schools continues to rise\, stricter controls on gun purchases remain a hot topic of debate\, and more and more parents are afraid to send their children to school.  There have already been more shootings\, with more victims\, so far in the first three months of 2023\, than during the same time frame last year.\nA group of Indian River County (IRC) parents have seen enough\, and are coming together to urge the School Board of IRC to increase focus on IRC Elementary school security.  Even though IRC schools remains in compliance with state law requiring all public schools to either have law enforcement or other armed personnel present\, IRC schools fall behind in security resources when compared to other southeastern Florida county school districts.\nA worried parent explained\, “Middle school and High school students need increased security.  However; when it comes to an active shooter\, these teens can run\, they can fight!  Elementary aged students are targeted because they are defenseless.  We need to take every extra security measures to protect our youngest children.”\nThe concerned parents met with Jon Teske\, Director of School Safety & Emergency Operations and with Sheriff’s Captain Milo Thornton\, School Safety Division\, who is running for Sheriff of IRC in 2024.
