"The Gravette School District has approved the implementation of the Active Shooter Response System in response to safety issues facing schools across the country. The ASRS provides access to protective equipment and devices used to deter an armed intruder from entering the building and doing harm to our students and staff. The safety systems will be accessed only by trained Commissioned School Security Officers that have acquired 60 hours of security training and have ongoing background and psychological exams. CSSOs receive that training through partnerships with the Arkansas State Police and the Benton County Sheriff's Office.

Details of the implementation process have yet to be completed but are being reviewed by security and legal athorities serving Gravette School District. More information on the Active Shooter Response System may be found at ASRS.io and are designed and built by Grav I. T., LLC."
