DUMFRIES, Va. — Following the tragic December 2013 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, Dumfries Elementary School will be the first and only elementary school in Prince William County to have a full-time police officer on campus. The school sits in the Town of Dumfries, which has agreed to fund the new position.
The move was approved by the Town Council and will cost town taxpayers about $100,000 to implement the new police position, when taking into account for training, equipment, and a new police cruiser, according to police officials.
While stakeholders debated the inclusion of a swimming pool in the plans for the 12th high school, another controversial issue came before the School Board Wednesday night: eighth grade participation in high school sports.
