The school board took a positive step to overcome Monte Vista High’s lack of a school resource officer when it voted Sept. 23 to partially fund a police officer. Monte Vista has no regularly assigned officer although such a presence is normal for high schools.
“If an incident occurred, I’d hate to have to say that we didn’t have a school resource officer due to lack of funding,” said Superintendent Steven Enoch, as he asked the San Ramon Valley Unified School District board to provide $35,000 toward payment of the officer for the balance of the school year. That amount is about 25 percent of the total cost.
