Students at Gull Lake Community Schools can expect to see a sheriff’s deputy around their classrooms this school year. On Tuesday the Kalamazoo County Board of Commissioners approved plans to post the officer to the district.
The sheriff’s office says the deputy will not serve as a disciplinarian, but rather, as a supportive presence for students. If the program goes well the sheriff’s office would like to expand it to other schools. Gull Lake Schools will pick up most of the cost of adding a deputy position.
