At Tuesday\u2019s meeting of the Tyrone Area School District Board of Directors, the board will consider the resignation request of Mark Frailey as the district\u2019s chief of police.
\n\u201cWe have received his resignation and it will be considered by the board,\u201d said Dr. William Miller, superintendent of Tyrone schools. \u201cBeyond that, I can\u2019t comment on a personnel issue.\u201d
\nThe school hired Frailey in August of 2000 when the school board decided to provide its own security for the school district.
\nThe school police department was funded under the Safe Schools, Healthy Students grant and Miller told The Daily Herald, \u201cI\u2019m not sure if we are going to replace the chief.\u201d
\n\u201cThe grant was projected to pay for the police department and we will divert that money to fund other programs we have ongoing in the district,\u201d said Miller. \u201cThis is not a money issue. After three years, we need to re-evaluate the responsibility of the school police and the needs of the program.\u201d
\nThe Safe Schools, Healthy Students grant that funds the Tyrone School District Police is to run out following the 2003-04 school year.
\n\u201cWe don\u2019t feel that the need is as critical at the high school as we first thought,\u201d said Miller. \u201cWe as a district need to go through a period of self reflection and re-evaluation.\u201d
\nThe current staff of one full-time policeman, one full-time security officer and one part-time security officer will stay in place.
\n\u201cWe don\u2019t see the elimination of the department,\u201d said Miller. \u201cThis is all for the board to consider in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
