Imagine a world where every child feels safe and supported in their school, regardless of the challenges they face. That's the mission of our guests today – Jay Ballard and Kelly Taylor, two school resource officers (SROs) from Canyon School District, and Charisse Hilton, an administrator who brings a fresh perspective to the table. They're here to share their inspiring stories, motivations, and how they interact with students from all walks of life. 

As SROs, Jay and Kelly are more than your typical law enforcement officers. They serve as mentors, counselors, law educators, and most importantly, advocates for students. They are the cornerstone of the peer court system, fostering a sense of safety and trust within the school premises. Charisse, as an administrator, sheds light on the invaluable role the SROs play in school safety. Engaging with students, building relationships with parents, and practicing understanding and civility in every situation are the keys to their success. 

But the world beyond the school walls isn't always as nurturing. The rise of technology use and vaping among children presents a new set of challenges. That's where open communication between parents and children comes in. Our guests stress the importance of parents being proactive in monitoring their child's digital activities and guiding them away from harmful habits like vaping. Tune in, as we embark on this enlightening discussion filled with insights about school safety, the pivotal role of SROs, and practical advice for parents. Together, let's create an environment where every student thrives.
