Armed Security

  • Security was enhanced in January 2019 with the introduction of a Director of School safety on campus.
  • In addition, Options expanding its security presence on campus for the 2019-20 school year by adding a team of Safety Specialists.
  • In addition, Options expanded its armed presence on campus for the 2019-20 school year with board approval of an Armed Security Policy for our security officers to carry a weapon while on duty. This policy was implemented in order to be positioned to both deter and respond to any situation that would put Options families or employees in danger.
  • Our security officers have gone through significant firearms and de-escalation training as well as an evaluation program in order to meet the requirements to carry a weapon on campus.
  • Any parent desiring more information about the specific training for the Armed Security should reach out directly to Joe Hopper for additional follow up.

Additional Security Enhancements

While we do not publish every security enhancement and change we are making, please know that our Director of School Safety is actively and continually improving the culture of safety on our campus. As we practice A.L.I.C.E. through our lockdown drills throughout the year, we encourage you to engage with your students on the topic of school safety.
