The Cumberland Valley School District is looking into hiring its own police officers.
In a virtual school board meeting held Monday, a proposal was submitted to the board by superintendent Dr. David Christopher. That proposal would examine how officers employed by the district would operate, and what training and requirements would need to be met through the district’s School Safety and Security Department.
In a phone interview, Christopher stressed that such discussions were “just in the early stages” and the proposal, if approved, would allow for further examination.
