“We want to be fiscally responsible and
accountable,” Doyle said. “If we have the
ability to reassign and become more effi
cient and can benefit the schools, that’s
our goal.”
In the current setup, officers are
assigned to a high school but also serve
nearby schools, said district spokeswoman
Jennifer Caracciolo.
The other two existing officers provide
roaming coverage in the north and south
halves of the county.
The doubled coverage will allow five
school resource officers to be stationed
full time at each high school, and the other
nine will be assigned to a middle school,
while also serving the feeder elementary
schools.
“It will provide more opportunities for
education, such as class presentations on
Internet safety, bullying and alcohol/drug
prevention made in partnership with the
SROs and teachers,” Caracciolo said.
Doyle said the officers will continue to
provide safety for the students and create a
law enforcement presence in the schools.
“The SRO program was always about
crime prevention and community, but it’s
evolved more into a security issue as
well,” he said. “They're there for safety,
eyes and ears, helping the kids ... The
added benefit is they are interacting with

“Traffic investigators believe that
excessive speed by the motorcycle may
have played a role in this crash,” accord
ing to the release.
The investigation is ongoing. :

the students.”
Doyle said the agency has seen an
“overwhelming response” from current
employees interested in transferring to a
school resource officer position, and will
begin interviewing and screening next
week.
In the summers, when school is not in
session, Doyle said the deputies will also
be cross-trained to work on the boat or
bike units.
The sheriff’s office and school district
have other plans to continue ensuring
safety on campuses.
Caracciolo said a safety committee will
be established with district staff, school
principals and local law enforcement to
meet throughout the year “to discuss and
plan for school safety.”
The district will also begin conducting
school safety audits “to review operating
practices and safety procedures, and pro
vide recommendations for safety improve
ments.”

World performing during the Main Street Parade.

The South Forsyth High School
band started off the year with a little
magic.
After a couple days of amusement
park-hopping, the students spent
Saturday at Walt Disney World perform
ing during the Main Street Parade.
“There were so many people who
were lined up to see the parade and they
were excited to see us,” said Megan
Moore, band president. “It was such an
awesome thing to do because you never
think you’re going to march down Main
Street in Disney World with adults and
children screaming for you and clapping
for you ... it was magical.”
Moore, a senior who plays the flute,
said the band takes a trip every four
years “to showcase the performing arts.”
“We go somewhere that’s a fun trip,
but a really great way for the band to
show their stuff and do a performance

for a large group of people,” she said.
About 90 of the band’s 100 members
made the trip, said Paul Clark, director.
Disney was their top choice and, as it
turned out, the feeling was mutual.
“We applied for a live performance
parade there ... Based on our applica
tion, they place us based on our level of
performance. They want their top groups
for the Magic Kingdom Parade, which is
what we were in,” Clark said.
“Sometimes there are multiple bands,
but it was just us for that day ... so we
got all the attention.”
The group traveled to Florida early on
the morning of Jan. 3 and “we didn’t
waste any time.”
“As soon as we got to Florida, we
drove straight to Epcot,” Moore said.
They also visited Animal Kingdom and
Hollywood Studios before their day at
the Magic Kingdom.
Clark said the group had such a good
time, he may return on a more frequent
basis with the school’s jazz ensemble or
color guard.
“I try to mix up the trips to keep it
interesting, but our experience was so
good and everything was so well done,”
he said. “We'll definitely look into do it
again,” he said.
