State Funds Some SRO Programs
The State of Arizona has provided grants to the Marana, TUSD, Amphitheatre School Districts for School Resource Officers ("SRO"). The grant provides for a "whopping" one SRO for the entire district.
"Each district handles safety at its schools differently. For example, some of the schools in Amphitheater Public Schools fall within the Town of Oro Valley boundaries. Oro Valley Police say they provide school resource officers at all the schools within town limits through a grant or its budget." (Source)

The following was published as a comment on our YouTube Zeeman site regarding the Oro Valley Oral History Video:
"This video is one of my proudest achievements in Oro Valley--gathering these two together, writing the questions and asking them off-camera. Then, we added the photos that I was able to gather; finally, we programmed the atmospheric music .While my name doesn't appear anywhere in the film--it was all part of my job--all credit for this film belongs with Hank and Jim.

My reply to Bob:
"I was given the DVD along with a bunch of "other stuff" by someone who was "cleaning" out their closet. I publish letorovalleyexce.com Well, as you can imagine, I was "blown away" by the video. Yet, for some reason, the video was forgotten by the Town Of Oro Valley. So, I parsed it and posted it, announced it via LOVE. What a great job. Thank you. Thank you."
