MONROEVILLE, Pa. – The Gateway School Board takes student safety seriously, so they’re putting armed police officers in all schools to ensure they’re protected.
The board voted 7-2 Tuesday to hire several retired police officers to help the two trained officers who currently patrol the district’s seven school buildings, CBS Pittsburgh reports.
“The new plan will place eight part-time officers in the high school and keep on full-time officer in one middle school, while adding two part-time officers at the other middle school,” according to the news site. “It will also add two part-time officers at each of the district’s four elementary schools.”
