While most of the community was staying warm inside, this incredible maintenance team was outside doing the hard work that makes a safe return to school possible.

On Sunday, January 25th, and again early Monday morning, January 26th, the USD 265-Facilities, Maintenance & Operations staff were out across the district clearing snow from parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, and entrances, ensuring school buildings are safe and accessible for students, staff, and families.

These moments from USD 265-Clark Davidson Elementary School, USD 265-Discovery Intermediate School, and USD 265-Challenger Intermediate School are a snapshot of the pride, grit, and dedication behind the scenes. Snow storms do not stop this team from showing up, problem solving, and taking care of our schools.

Their work may happen before sunrise and behind the scenes, but its impact is felt by every student and staff member who walks through our doors. Thank you for going above and beyond for our !

"Protecting with Purpose. Serving with Integrity. Partnering for a Safer Tomorrow."

The Goddard Public Schools Police Department is proud to continue serving the students, staff, and families of USD 265 with a renewed emphasis on visibility, consistency, and connection. This year, families may notice that district police vehicles are now fully marked, carrying a design originally created by recent Goddard Public Schools graduate Taylor Harrington. Officers will also be wearing standardized uniforms across the district, ensuring that our school community can easily recognize them as trusted and approachable members of the .

“Our department’s mission goes beyond safety—it’s about building relationships,” said Chief of Police Joe Camp. “We want every student, staff member, and parent to feel confident and comfortable when they see our officers in uniform or our marked vehicles around schools. We’re here not just to respond when needed, but to be a positive, everyday presence in our schools.”

At times, families may see multiple police cars parked outside a school building. Chief Camp explained that this is not a cause for alarm. “More often than not, it simply means our officers are inside a school engaging with students, meeting with staff, or supporting a special event,” he said. “We are regularly invited into classrooms, assemblies, and activities because we want students to see us as part of their school community, not just law enforcement.”

The USD 265 Police Department remains dedicated to protecting the district while fostering a culture of trust and care. By being present in meaningful ways, the officers aim to ensure that every student has not only a safe place to learn, but also a supportive environment where they can thrive. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Joe Camp, Chief of Police, if you have any questions or concerns at 316-794-4000 or [email protected].
