A Tennessee high school will now have a full-time armed school resource officer (SRO) on campus, part of a broader security initiative announced by the local school district. The decision follows heightened concerns over school safety statewide and comes after a series of public meetings where parents and community members expressed support for stronger protective measures. The officer will be stationed at the school during operating hours and will coordinate with local law enforcement for emergency preparedness. Funding for the position comes from a combination of state grants and local budget allocations.
