TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/NSF) - A lawmaker from Margate has proposed a bill that would require school-resource officers or school-safety officers at every public-school campus.
Filed by Senate Democrat Jeremy Ring, the bill would tighten a law that allows school boards to decide whether to establish school-resource officer programs. It would require school boards to establish the programs and would require that at least one officer be present at each public school from 30 minutes before classes start until 30 minutes after classes end.
The bill is filed for the legislative session that begins next week.
