The classroom is a place where students should feel safe and secure. That’s why parents, local law enforcement officials, governmental agencies and schools joined forces to form The Friends for Safe Schools Committee. The Committee’s mission is to add another layer of security in all county schools with a device called “The Boot.” This device is an easy and simple way to secure classroom doors in the event of a lockdown.
