Safety and Security Newsletter

West Perry School District is partnering with Standing Stone Consulting Inc. to provide professional security services. An armed school security officer will be on duty each school day, primarily stationed at the High School/Middle School campus, with regular visits to elementary schools. This addition reinforces our commitment to student and staff safety by providing additional staff to:

• Monitoring campus entrances and exits.
• Assisting with traffic and supervision during arrivals and dismissals.
• Responding swiftly to safety concerns alongside school staff.
• Supporting emergency preparedness drills and protocols.

We believe that a school security officer's presence will significantly contribute to our district's overall sense of safety and security.

We are pleased to introduce Jaydyn Socey as the district's new School Security Officer. With his public safety and security background, Officer Socey brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this critical role.

He later served as a corrections officer, gaining invaluable experience in maintaining order and navigating high-pressure environments. His tenure as a Deputy Sheriff followed this, where he further refined his law enforcement and community safety skills. Building on this foundation, Jaydyn transitioned back to private security, taking on roles as a Security Operations Manager and Executive Protection Agent.
