    Asking the school board to explore and consider a school resource officer. Almost all of the other York County schools have at least one in place, and no amount of tax increase can replace the safety of all York Suburban students.

    On the April 17 committee meeting agenda it says there was a request for a school resource officer. Could the public that was unable to attend that meeting please get an update on the discussion surrounding that request and where we stand with it? I am in favor of having a school resource officer and hope the board is too.
