Clay County school board members voted to place the school district police in the hands of the sheriff’s office.
After nearly two and-a-half hours the Clay County school board voted 4-to-1 in favor of having the Clay County Sheriff’s Office oversee school resource officers.“School policing is different than community policing,” Bolla said.
On the other hand, board member Beth Clark is happy with CCSO taking charge. She says they will have better resources and they will handle all the internal investigations.“We don’t want any accusations,” Clark said. “So, it’s always best that you have an external police force that works with the school district.”
