N.J. Lawmaker Aims to Recruit More Veterans for School Security
A New Jersey lawmaker wants to give preference to hiring military veterans for school security positions, according to NewsWorks.
Sen. Jim Beach’s proposed legislation would create a three-year pilot program in 12 school districts to recruit veterans for schools’ safety and security needs. The senator (D-Camden) says that the preference would be similar to those state police forces or fire departments have for veterans.
