The size of the safety and security staff at Columbus City Schools is increasing by more than 50 percent, says a news report.
The district will be hiring 31 new staff members over the summer who will be assigned to all school levels — high schools, middle schools, and some elementary schools. Under the new plan, most of the high schools will have two security staff members, in addition to a Columbus Police school resource officer. In addition, all of the middle schools and some of the elementary schools will now have security staff, says the report.
