Palmer City Council approves SRO on campus

PALMER-The Palmer City Council unanimously approved a School Resource Officer for the City of Palmer. The City will pay 25% of the cost and the School District 75%. MSBSD has had a SRO at Wasilla High for five years. Of the five schools within the City of Palmer, 15% of MSBSD’s student population is represented among Palmer High, Palmer Junior Middle, Academy Charter, Sherrod and Swanson Elementary.

The officer would perform regular police duties during the summer months and may be used outside the schools during winter and spring breaks. PPD has yet to determine who will fill the position. The SRO will not be confined to PHS, as he/she will be able to travel to other schools within Palmer and respond to greater incidents outside the school. This is a developing story.
