ROWVA Schools is proud to welcome Deputy King to the district as a School Resource Officer. Deputy King has served as the DARE officer at ROWVA for several years and will now be joining the district full-time to support our students' needs. The SRO will enhance safety and security, but will also be able to provide instruction in certain areas within classrooms and to be present to build relationships between our students and law enforcement. Deputy King will be helping out in many ways around the district, but please rest assured that student discipline will still be managed by administration. Deputy King will only be brought in to discipline issues in more severe cases where law enforcement intervention is needed as we have done before with the Sheriff's Department.
Deputy King will be starting full-time in the district after the winter break, but students will see him around at times in the next couple of weeks. We wanted to let you know so that you are aware that there is no major issue going on at the school. Having the SRO is now just part of how we support our students every day.
Should you have any questions regarding the SRO and how he will be utilized, please feel free to reach to Dr. Dunlap. He can be reached by phone at (309) 483-3711 or by email at jdunlap@rowva.k12.il.us.
