| HSD's New Department of Public Safety |
|
This school year, Hillsboro School District is pleased to announce the creation of a
Department of Public Safety, led by our very own Chief of Police, Alex Oh. Last spring, District staff worked through the Smarter School Spending protocol to identify potential cost savings and discussed the idea of bringing our after-hours security service in-house. After finding that the move would save money, Executive Director of Safety and Operations Casey Waletich explored the value-add of having the internal security staff supervised by a sworn police officer, resulting in Oh's hiring.
