A significantly enhanced presence of Brookfield Police at the schools will continue indefinitely.  That was part of a message from Brookfield's School Superintendent in an email to parents about the continued effort to strengthen security.  Anthony Bivonah says rapid communications systems linked directly to the police department are being installed in all buildings.  Building entrances will be modified to improve access control and supervision of those entrances will be increased. 

Bivonah is reminding Brookfield parents that if students or families need emotional support during winter break, Newtown Youth and Family Services is available for counseling services.
