School Resource Officer Funding To Be Discussed

June 5th, 2023 by WCBC Radio

Filling the void for at least three school resource officers will be discussed at the next meeting of the Allegany County Board of Education.  Board President Bob Farrell spoke with WCBC about the need for the officers and a possible source for them…

   

School Resource officers are present in every school in the county except for 3 at present – BelAir, Cresaptown, and Westmar.  Farrell said the officers fulfill more than security…

   

Funding for the officers would come from the school system’s “rainy day fund.”
