💙 School Resource Officer Appreciation Day💙

While Clayton Public Schools were closed on February 15 in observance of Presidents’ Day, we want to take a moment to recognize and thank Officer Tim Brown and Officer Rich Lunt for the meaningful role they play in our schools.

Through their daily presence, they help foster safe, supportive learning environments and build strong connections with our students and staff.

“Officer Brown and Officer Lunt exemplify the strong partnership between our schools and our community. More than officers, they are mentors and trusted role models whose commitment to safety strengthens our schools every day.” — Mr. Nikolaos Koutsogiannis, Superintendent

Thank you, Officer Brown and Officer Lunt, for all you do for Clayton Public Schools. 💙💛
