The Yankton School Board has approved an agreement with the City of Yankton to provide a school resource police officer.
Yankton Police Chief Brian Paulsen told the school board that they want to build their relationship with students and staff…
Paulsen says most enforcement needed in the schools would not be handled by the resource officer…
Paulsen said Yankton is the last class one school in the state to add a resource officer.
Superintendent Dr. Wayne Kindle says the cooperation from the city was critical to creating the position…
Kindle said that Lewis & Clark Behavioral Health will contribute about three thousand dollars toward the schools share of salary.
The agreement was later approved by the city commission.
