WHITEHOUSE, Ohio-Anthony Wayne Local Schools is enhancing safety measures by hiring a second school resource officer ahead of students returning to class. Superintendent Jim Fritz emphasizes the importance of students feeling safe and secure for optimal learning.
The new officer, Ashley Kunesh, prioritizes student safety and aims to build positive relationships within the community. Despite recent legislation allowing school districts to arm employees, AWLS has opted not to implement this measure, ensuring that only school resource officers carry firearms on campus. Both officers will be present on the first day of school to ensure a safe environment for students and staff.
