Volusia County Sheriff’s Office deputies will conduct extra patrols and enforce speed limits near campuses as the school year begins.
“If you’re out driving at the start or end of the school day, the safety of our kids on their way to and from school starts with you,” Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said, according to a VSO news release. “We have all the personnel and technology in place to make this a safe school year, but we need everyone in our community to pay attention and help us out.”
Starting this school year, state law requires schools to report disruptive and criminal incidents on campus.
Districts must report drug or alcohol possession, vandalism, threats and fighting as well as major crimes like homicide, sexual assault and battery, the Florida Department of Education has decided.
