School resource officer added to every Paris City school for 2026-2027 school year, LEX18 reports

LEX18 reports that a school resource officer (SRO) will be assigned to each Paris City school beginning with the 2026-2027 academic year.

A school resource officer has been added to every Paris City school for the 2026-2027 school year, LEX18 reported Tuesday.

LEX18 said the expansion will place an SRO in each school campus within the Paris City school system, with the change taking effect for the new academic year.

School resource officers are sworn law-enforcement officers assigned to work inside schools, commonly to support student and staff safety, help de-escalate disruptive incidents, and connect students and families with lawful community resources.

The LEX18 report characterizes the additional SRO coverage as a full-system approach for Paris City schools, rather than a limited placement at select buildings.

The 2026-2027 school year start brings the policy change into day-to-day operations for students, parents, educators, and school staff, who will now have SRO access at every school site in the Paris City system.

Additional details, including which agency will staff the roles and how schedules or oversight will be handled, were not included in the report description.

Why It Matters

  • For the 2026-2027 school year, the decision changes the public-safety footprint across all Paris City school campuses.
  • The expansion affects daily security operations and how school incidents are handled on-site for students and staff.
  • Parents and educators will have a consistent law-enforcement presence at every school building in the system beginning next school year.
  • Local school resource staffing can affect school budgets and coordination with law enforcement, depending on how the roles are funded and supervised.
