Superintendent: Tolland School Security Part of an 'Ongoing Discussion'

Superintendent William Guzman said that dedicating a resident trooper to the school district is one of many options being considered.

Superintendent William Guzman said that his Tuesday meeting with school administrators was just the beginning of an "ongoing discussion" on Tolland school district security over the next several weeks.

Guzman said that he and the school principals reviewed the district's current policies and will bring several security ideas that would require additional funding to Town Manager Steven Werbner before moving forward.

One of the many ideas he will discuss with Werbner will include the placement of a resident trooper at Tolland schools.
