Dear Parents and Guardians,
My name is Larry Little, and I serve as the District Safety Coordinator for Springdale Schools. I bring to this role over 10 years of active-duty military service and 14 years with the Washington County Juvenile Justice Center. These experiences have deeply shaped my commitment to safety, discipline, and service.

In my current role, I work closely with school leaders, staff, parents, and community safety partners to help ensure a safe and secure learning environment for all students, staff, and visitors. From emergency planning and drills to campus security initiatives and threat assessments, my focus is on proactive, preventative measures and ensuring a quick, coordinated response whenever needed.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any safety-related questions, concerns, or ideas. I truly look forward to partnering with you to support the well-being and safety of everyone in our district.

Sincerely,
Larry Little
District Safety Coordinator
