About the Series

PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs and Student Television Network investigate how schools across the country are rethinking what it means to feel safe and be safe at school.

PROTECTING STUDENTS

For many schools across the country, the school resource officer is the first line of defense against a potential school shooting. But at Manor High School in Texas, students are protected by a local sheriff deputy and a contracted security firm.
