Dresden, Tenn.–This morning, an isolated discipline incident occurred involving a student at Dresden Middle School.
School officials, the School Resource Officer, and a D.A.R.E. Officer onsite teaching a class all responded immediately.
In an effort to de-escalate the situation quickly, officers on the scene called in for other backup officers to assist. During that time, students were cleared of the hallway to allow staff the opportunity to help this student without onlookers. In a matter of minutes, the situation was resolved and disciplinary actions will be implemented.
“The safety of our students and staff is the number one priority. We appreciate our local law enforcement officers who take school safety seriously. Thanks to all involved for this quick response that allowed our students to focus on their work and school day,” said Director of Schools Randy Frazier.
