No school resource officers?

By Lindsey Hilty | Tuesday, January 13, 2009, 04:47 PM

The Butler County Sheriff’s Office announced cuts today to its budget. The first to go would be school resource and DARE officers. While West Chester provides an officer to Lakota West for a partial fee, Lakota East and its junior and Freshman school rely on the Butler County Sheriff’s office for this service.

I am waiting on a return phone call from the district (they are busy with the math open house at the moment) but I will get back to you on their response. What do you think they should do? From what I have seen, the school resource officers are invaluable. Should the district pay for the entire salary of that person? With budget cuts coming to schools, where should they prioritize? Does this come down to a safety issue?
