Topeka Public Schools faces a tough budget decision: potentially cutting funding for student resource officers in middle schools. Superintendent Dr. Tiffany Anderson stresses these officers aren’t just security guards—they’re vital for student safety and building positive police-school partnerships. While the district is finding ways to fund one specific role, they’re urging the city to maintain the current cost-share model and help seek future grants. Good news: city council members are listening and backing efforts to keep SROs in schools, showing a shared commitment to student safety amid fiscal constraints.
