A REPORT BY WJAC INDICATES THAT THE BOARD IS READY TO MAKE THE MOVE TO HIRE A FULLTIME OFFICER IN THE WAKE OF THE PLANNED SCHOOL SHOOTING THAT WAS FOILED LAST FALL. THE REPORT STATES THAT THE BOARD WILL SEEK THE APPROVAL OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS IN CAMBRIA COUNTY ON ITS POTENTIAL HIREE. THE NAME OR NAMES OF POTENTIAL PEOPLE FOR THE POSITION HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED. THE POSITION WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD IN DECEMBER 2020, BUT NOTHING WAS DONE UP TO THIS POINT. ONLY ONE OFFICER IS EXPECTED TO BE HIRED. TWO TEENAGERS ARE FACING CHARGES OF PLANNING A MASSIVE SCHOOL SHOOTING AT WESTMONT.
