Parents, I would like to introduce myself. I am Deputy Franck with the Gilliam County Sheriff’s Office, but more importantly I am the new school resource officer for the Arlington and Condon School Districts. I would like to start off by explaining a little bit about what a school resource officer (SRO) does and the importance in having one. My role as the SRO is divided up into three parts, education, mentor and law enforcement. Within the classrooms, I will be collaborating with teachers and presenting law enforcement related topics to the students such as distracted driving, bullying and social media safety. I will be available to the students throughout the day as well as participating in the classrooms with the lessons for the day. My goal is to build a positive relationship between students and law enforcement. My door is always open to students, staff and parents. I also will be working closely with the school counselors for the emotional and mental well-being of students and staff. Regarding law enforcement related issues, I am not here to discipline students for their behavior. The school will still handle any policy violations. If a crime does occur within the school or has a nexus to the school, I will be working with the school administration, the Gilliam County Juvenile Department and parents for an appropriate outcome. I have a significant amount of training and experience working with school aged children. Their safety, in and out of the schools, is my number one priority. Another part of my role in the schools includes the school safety plan, making sure the students and staff are safe from any active threats to our schools. I will be dividing my time between Arlington and Condon. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to the schools, the Sheriff’s Office or to myself. We all would be happy to answer them. I am looking forward to working with all the students for the 2021-2022 school year. Sincerely, Deputy Kayla Franck
