School safety is a year-round priority in Pelham City Schools. 💚
Last week, Pelham City Schools staff and our School Resource Officers attended the TAASRO Safe Schools Conference to learn, collaborate, and strengthen school safety practices. Assistant Superintendent Dr. Dorann Tanner was also selected to participate in specialized Project Unite training, a national initiative focused on proactive school safety, prevention, and early intervention.
The learning doesn't stop when the conference ends. We'll continue to plan and work together to ensure our schools remain safe and supportive for students and staff.
