A YES Vote is a Vote for Safer Schools
Making our schools safe is critical—and expensive. In 1986, there was little need for school security. Today, school safety is essential. The world has changed, and our schools must adapt to ensure the safety of our children and staff. Without this funding, our schools will be more vulnerable to those who wish to harm. The school tax referendum is a vote for safer schools and protecting our most precious resource—our children.
If the school referendum passes, Tuscaloosa City Schools will:
Provide bullet-resistant entrances at all schools. Every single one.
Place security officers throughout the school day in every school. Every single one.
Install security cameras, alarms, and stronger security systems at every school. Every single one.
