We all have agreed earlier in the year when going through the budget scenarios, that safety comes first. I think I can safely say we agree our children and their safety is at the top of the list.It appears to me that we need to take care by placing police officers or resource officers - at the schools most vulnerable. Police at our junior high schools and perhaps more than one at the high schools. The recent news about an attempted 17 year old girl being abducted near a high school is a loud cry for help and a warning.Finding funds to protect our children seems a priority. Looking into more potential avenues for funding that can provide the public safety - police officers, that is required at our schools to keep it safe - is more urgent in my mind than building a swimming pool at every junior high. We can never replace a child - material things, a pool - can be replaced, substituted, or done without.
