School security leaders push plan for officers in all Area 1 schools
South Aiken High School security committee head reports broad support from Mayor Fred B. Cavanaugh and Councilwoman Karen Papouchado for funding a costly proposal to place an officer in all 10 Area 1 schools during operating hours. Elizabeth Benton estimates up to 80,000 per officer, while costs for other ideas remain undetermined. A badge program and bus drivers patrolling schools are among options discussed. The Board of Education already approved permanent expulsion for weapon-bearing students.
