In an effort to provide Summit students with a safe and secure learning environment, Edmond Public Schools and the Oklahoma County Sherrif's Office, implemented the School Resource Officer (S.R.O.) program. The role of the S.R.O. is multi-faceted. SRO’s enforce federal, state and local laws on school property as well as build lifelong supportive relationships with the students. The S.R.O. acts as a liaison between schools and the Sherrif's department and ensures an open line of communication between the entities, students, and parents.
The S.R.O. provides parents with the opportunity to be involved and active in issues concerning the safety and welfare of their children. Annually, hundreds of students are instructed in tobacco awareness and personal choice safety in regards to current trends practiced by young people. In addition to instructing students, the S.R.O. provides numerous hours of instruction to school district faculty and administration.
With our dynamic society, the SRO has become a stabilizing factor in the educational and personal lives of the students, staff and faculty of Summit Middle School.
