3. Madison City Schools is taking a look at their safety protocols over the summer after the Uvalde, Texas mass school shooting. They worked with the chief of the Madison Police Department to increase the police presence the day after, since not every school building has a school resource officer (SRO). According to Dr. Nichols, the superintendent, the goal is to make sure each school building does have SROs starting in the fall. (WHNT News 19)
