Parents and school law enforcement are teaming up for a new volunteer initiative for all 66 schools in the Clayton County area.
Village on Patrol is a volunteer-based program asking adults to help with safety issues. The program was created in response to community feedback on local safety and involvement.
Shakira Brown Rice is the director of community and employee engagement with Clayton County Schools. She says the unarmed volunteers are another way to assist school officers.
“This a just a layer of proactive measures that we have in place,” she said.
The program has given parents like Camille Stokes some sense of relief. Stokes has two kids going to school in the county.
