Through a conversation on social media, residents of Glen Rock asked 2 additional questions they wanted answered. Banana Tree News reached out to them and has received the following answers.
The questions asked were:
- What are your thoughts on Armed security guards on School Grounds?
- What are your thoughts on banning books?
Candidate Karyn Stevenson answered:
Armed Security:
While ensuring the safety of our students and staff is a top priority, I do not believe that armed security in schools is the right approach. Our district recently completed an independent security analysis that provided recommendations to enhance safety. The analysis provided proactive measures that strengthen security without introducing firearms into our schools.
Additionally, our district offers a strong network of mental health services that are crucial in addressing the underlying causes of behavioral issues. These services support students’ emotional well-being, helping to prevent crises before they escalate. By investing in mental health, we create a safer school environment where students are supported both academically and emotionally.
Instead of relying on armed security, we should continue focusing on preventive measures that build trust and foster a positive school climate.
Safety can be achieved through collaboration, mental health support, and improved security protocols—without the need for guns on school grounds. These are the measures that will ensure long-term safety while maintaining an environment conducive to learning.
Book Banning:
I strongly believe that banning books in schools limits students’ ability to engage with diverse ideas and perspectives. Literature provides an essential opportunity for students to think critically, explore different viewpoints, and broaden their understanding of the world. Removing certain books from the curriculum or library shelves only narrows these opportunities and deprives students of valuable learning experiences.
While I understand that some parents may have concerns about specific content, I fully support a parent’s right to request that their own child not read a particular book. This allows families to make personal decisions about what aligns with their values without infringing on the rights of other students. It’s important that personal choice remains central to our educational environment, where students and parents can make informed decisions based on their own beliefs.

Almost all of the things you claim happens to be supprisingly appropriate and that makes me ponder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this in this light before. Your article truly did switch the light on for me personally as far as this specific topic goes. Nevertheless there is actually 1 factor I am not necessarily too comfy with so whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the actual central theme of your position, allow me see just what all the rest of your readers have to say.Very well done.
