News » Police coming to Winchester school meeting
Mar. 11, 2010
An upcoming meeting on the proposed closure of Winchester elementary school is expected to draw a large crowd, and officers in uniform.
Winneconne acting police chief Paul Olson says they were contacted by school officials to provide security, as a precaution.
Three uniformed officers will be at Monday night's meeting. Olson says that's unusual. He says they have been present at expulsion hearings, but not school board meetings.
Olson says they hope everyone remains civil at the meeting.
A group is trying to convince the school board to change its mind and keep the elementary school open. Members say in the 1950's, they joined the Winneconne school district with the understanding that a school would be located in Winchester. They believe the district should continue to honor that commitment. |
