Cutrona Bill to Provide Private Schools with a School Resource Officer Heads to Senate Floor

The Senate's Education Committee this week approved Senate Bill 318, sponsored by State Senator Al Cutrona (R-Canfield), which allows private schools to engage for a school resource officer in the same manner as a public school district.

“In this day and age, the safety of students at all schools should be the focus of every community," said Senator Cutrona. “Providing every school with the resources necessary to protect students will help deter wrongdoing and bolster security. I'm proud to see this pass favorably out of committee and look forward to seeing this legislation passed by the Senate.”

Senate Bill 318 will now be sent to the floor for the Senate's full consideration.
