About Saratoga Parents for Safer Schools 

As a result of the Saratoga Springs Board of Education Vote on October 9, 2018 to disarm the district’s active and retired police officers working in a security capacity on school grounds, concerned parents formed Saratoga Parents for Safer Schools. SPFSS advocates for the reinstatement of historically proven security measures to protect students, faculty, and administration in the school district.
