Here is the fifth question we will include in our voter guide for the following election, Chairman, Prince William County School Board, At Large. This election is scheduled for November 6, 2018 (see 2018 ELECTIONS).
Do you support or oppose the school board hiring retired police officers as armed guard in schools?
This question is closely related to the sixth question (see WHY THOSE QUESTIONS ON THE PWMFA VOTER GUIDE? — PART 2). As the articles below explain, Prince William County Schools is currently pilot testing a program to hire retired law enforcement officers to provide additional school security.
