Welcome to

Superintendents from around the state told a Senate committee in Tallahassee today they want more money for security.

Right now most districts split the cost of their school resource officers with their county sheriff’s office. Volusia County Deputy Superintendent Robert Moll says more officers could help stave off some massacres, but admits nothing the legislature does will make schools 100 percent safe.

“You have all kinds of scenarios that can take place in schools so the best thing you can do is try to put as many obstacles in the way to not let that happen,” said Moll.

Because of Florida’s climate, many schools have open air campuses making it difficult for just a couple of officers to guard all the entry ways.
