Statement from IEA thanking Dixon School Resource Officer Mark Dallas for his heroic efforts
The Illinois Education Association (IEA) President Kathi Griffin today released the following statement regarding the school shooting at Dixon High School:
“Our hearts are heavy with the news of another school shooting. The quick, brave actions of Dixon Police Department School Resource Officer Mark Dallas stopped the gunman and saved many lives,” said IEA President Kathi Griffin. “Today’s events will undoubtedly cause some to wonder if arming teachers will somehow be a deterrent, a way to keep our children and our schools safe. But that’s not what our educators have signed up for. It’s the job of a school resource officer, and we commend him for keeping our students and staff safe.”
