Every public elementary school in Hillsborough County, Fla., could have an armed officer patrolling its halls within four years. The Tampa Tribune reports that the county school board has voted 4-3 to approve the first phase of a $4.5 million security plan. The district will phase in “community school officers'' – who are not sworn law enforcement officers but district employees – over the next four years. The board approved $815,000 in funding for the first year. This school year, 20 community school officers and two school security specialists will be hired to patrol 20 district schools.
