Lowe Appointed District Police Chief

The Center Independent School District board has voted unanimously to appoint Pete Lowe as Police Chief of the Center Independent School District Police Department.   "As we have been going through a lot of our safety plans , procedures, guidelines, and audits, it has come to our attention that if we have a police force, we are supposed to have a designated chief," said School District Superintendant Dr. James Hockenberry. 

 

In other business, the board voted to add a third peace officer to the district force.  School Board President Dixon Golden made mention of the Sandy Hook tragedy late last year and talked about the importance of school safety.  "We want to make our district the safest we most possibly can make it...I know that safety continues to be of the utmost concern to this board and to the principals and we are doing everything to maintain safe campuses in the confines and the limitations we have," Golden said.

 

The board also agreed to purchase two new 78 passenger school buses.   Hockenberry cited the current aging fleet as a reason to "try to further better our fleet."  The buses will be air-conditioned.
