The Jefferson County Board of Education unanimously approved a nearly $7.3 million budget for the program and job descriptions for safety administrators and officers during a special meeting Thursday.

Pollio laid out his administration’s proposal to hire safety administrators at every JCPS middle and high school and to create a team of about 30 armed school safety officers to patrol geographic areas covering between three and seven schools during a Jefferson County Board of Education meeting Tuesday.

Pollio, in his regular report to the Jefferson County Board of Education, shared few details of the options his administration is creating as part of a district security plan, though he said the district’s goal is to provide “enhanced training” to current JCPS security monitors, arming them and assigning them to serve clusters of schools.
