PRINCE GEORGE S COUNTY, Md. After months of delays, the Prince George s County Public School Board voted Monday night to keep school resource officers in their schools, while eventually phasing out school security personnel.
Those recommendations were drafted by the county s Police Reform Task Force, and accepted by the CEO of Prince George s County Public Schools. The school board did not have enough votes to overturn the CEO s decision.
