Town, Schools to Split School Officer Funding
By Kellie Dixon
Assistant City Editor
Area schools will have to start looking
elsewhere for funding if they want to keep
police officers walking their halls once the
town withdraws financial support
The Chapel Hill Town Council has
equally split the $220,000 cost of school
resource officers with the local school sys
tem this year only. By next year, die
school system will pay 75 percent and will
be forced to cover the entire bill if grants
are not available in 2002-2003.
SROs interact with students and stay
on site in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City
School system to prevent or solve any
problems that might arise. Until the past
school year, the program was funded by
by a combination federal grant. The
grants paid 75 percent, and the school
system paid the remaining 25 percent.
But that federal funding has since run
out, and Superintendent Neil Pedersen
said he worries about finding money to
support the program in coming years.

“We will have

money to the local
budget or consider

he said. “That
leaves us a fund

Cutbacks will
likely occur in
middle schools,

7:30 p.m. - UNC Club Roller
Hockey will hold a general interest
meeting for all old and new players in
109 Fetzer Gymnasium.
The public is invited to learn more
about roller hockey.
7:30 p.m. - The first regular meeting
of the first session of the 206th year of
said. “We had to tell our citizens we are
providing a service to residents who
don’t pay taxes in Chapel Hill. It’s not
fair, and we can’t afford it. People need
to realize this is not a hostile act by the
town council.”
But Pedersen said SROs serve a dual
purpose, warranting town dollars.
“They help to avoid calling the police
into the schools, and they are more effi
cient at handling violent issues when
they arise,” he said. “The town should
feel they are a good investment.”
Steve Scroggs, assistant superinten
dent for support services said die feder
al Cops In Schools Grant expired last
year, and now the schools must fund the
program for 12 months. Next year the
school will reapply for the CIS grant.
A U.S. Department of Justice
Community Policing Grant also expired
last school year. Prior to 1998, the
money was used to hire police officers in
the community, not SROs. Once the
funds run dry, schools can reapply for
another grant.
the Dialectic and Philanthropic soci
eties will be held in the Dialectic
Society Chamber on the 3rd floor of
New West.
Guests are always welcome to listen

“Right now, there aren’t any applica
tions available,” said interim Police
Chief Greggjarvies. “We don’t intend to
apply for other policing grants.”
In Carrboro, however, the town has
taken a proactive stance on SROs.
Carrboro Police Capt. John Buder
said Carrboro stations two SROs in its
schools.
The town pays for one officer in full
and the CIS grant subsidizes 75 percent of
the cost of the second officer, Butler said.
He also said each officer costs Carrborb
about $50,000 and the CIS grant provides
around $45,000. “It’s a gradual increase
on the town and a decrease on the (feder
al) government," he said.
Buder also said the program, while
cosdy to the residents of Carrboro, will
ultimately save them money. “They get
to know these kids before they become
a real burden on the taxpayers,” he said.
“In the long run, it pays for itself.”
The City Editor can be reached
at citydesk@unc.edu.
The meeting will be held in the
Ram’s Room of the Old Kenan Field
House.
The event is free, and the public is
welcome.
8 p.m. - There will be a general
interest meeting for the Carolina
Production Guild in Studio 2 of Swain
Hall.
