Norfolk Public School Board of Education approves contract for student resource officer

Posted:
NORFOLK, Neb. (KTIV/US92) -

The Norfolk Public School Board of Education approved a new contract with the City of Norfolk Monday for their student resource officer.  The officer works for the city as a police officer but will be stationed at the high school; interacting with students and trying to keep troubled teens from turning to crime. 

Norfolk has had an SRO for ten years but until this year he'd been stationed at Norfolk Junior High.  However, school officials say that with ninth graders now attending the high school, more students in that building could benefit from the SRO's presence. Officials did say they'll be evaluating early in the school year how the new arrangement is working for everyone involved.  Both the school district and city will be sharing the cost of the contract approved last night.
