regarding School Resource Officers.
Ruthie Watts shared the biggest problem in the District is lack of teacher diversity. Mrs. Watts added students of color need a teacher of color, a role model in whom the students can go to if they have a situation they would like to talk about.
Dr. Betty Lusk assured the public that she will work collaboratively to fix the division with this situation to make the change and build trust. Dr. Lusk's commitment is for all students to be treated well in the District.
