BREMEN — Bremen Schools will have a resource Officer for the coming school year as the Bremen School Board voted to ratify the contract with the town of Bremen in their meeting on Wednesday.
Superintendent Jim White told the board that the town of Bremen was generous in funding the officer for the first three years.
The question of where the office will be for the SRO was brought up and White said that there was currently an unused space in the school that could be utilized for the present. The school corporation is in the process of reconstructing and reconfiguring the entrance to the school to secure the entrance at the high school and said that an office for the SRO would be part of those plans.
White also updated the board on property tax legislation currently being considered by the Indiana General Assembly and how it will affect school funding.
White said that the bill in its current state would “flatline” the budget for the coming three years. He added that it wasn’t great news, but not “gloom and doom” either and that the corporation will work to stay within the budget.
