LEBANON School officials have decided to maintain Lebanon’s school resource officer position while an outside firm studies issues regarding equity and race within the city’s schools.
The Lebanon School Board voted, 7-1, Wednesday night to fund the police post for the 2021-2022 school year and also seek an equality assessment that could help guide future decisions.
