Bethel students returned to the school campus today for the start of the new academic year.  The district highlighted the School Resource Officers today on their social media sites.  There's one uniformed law enforcement officer at the Middle School, one at Berry Elementary and the High School which are next door to each other, and a third SRO serving Rockwell and Johnson schools, across from each other.  SROs are considered school officials in the capacity of district and school safety.  They're on site to help maintain a safe and secure environment conducive to learning, help prevent crime and violence on school grounds, and promote positive attitudes regarding the police role in society.
