The Bethel Board of Selectmen has signed off on a request to add an additional school resource officer.  The $75,000 for the rest of the fiscal year would be paid for with American Rescue Plan Act funding.  This does create a budget hole next year that would have to be built in.  The Selectmen also approved two bid waivers requested by the Board of Education for implementation of security grant awards.  Omni Data, LLC and Environmental Systems Corp will complete the school security projects that have been on the books since last year.
