Wake County holds safety summit for school resource officers

Three local school systems are taking steps Monday to prepare for the first day of classes.

In Wake County, the School Resource Officer Summit was underway at 8 a.m., where officers will meet to discuss safety on campus. School administrators, school resource officers and other members of law enforcement will participate in security sessions to prepare for the upcoming year.

In Durham, an orientation for new teachers will be held Monday in an effort to help less-experienced teachers become adjusted to working with the school system. The meeting will be focused on equity, ethics in education and the Durham Public Schools curriculum.

Orientation will run until 4:30 p.m.

Finally, in Fayetteville, an entire week of preparing for a safe, successful school year begins Monday. The Fayetteville Fire Department's community risk reduction team will post back-to-school tips to its Facebook page each day.
