RINCON Nineteen-year-old Garren Ballard is passionately following a blue trail blazed by his father.
Just one week after graduating from the Savannah Technical College Peace Officer Academy on March 26, Ballard, 19, went on patrol for the first time as a member of the Port Wentworth Police Department. His father, Gilbert, is the chief of the Garden City Police Department.
“This is a lifelong dream,” Garren said Friday. “Over the years, police work is what I’ve seen and what I’ve grown up with. It’s what I’ve wanted to do.”
The three rounds of federal COVID-19 stimulus for higher education institutions and students have been very beneficial, Arkansas State University President Chuck Welch said during ASU’s recent quarterly meeting. Guidance has only recently been received for the second round of funding, he said, so students will start seeing those benefits soon, followed later by the third round of support.
“We’re looking at how we can use funds for strategic purposes and maximize opportunities post-pandemic,” Welch said. “State budgeting in Arkansas continues to excel. General revenues are outperforming the state forecast by $529 million. My colleagues around the country are not experiencing that. We feel better about not facing budget cuts for the coming year.”
