Hilliard Elementary School is set to welcome a new officer as the Nassau County School Board discusses staffing changes during their recent workshop. The board confirmed that a new officer will be assigned to the school following the departure of a previous officer who left for a traveling job. This transition is expected to maintain the safety and support systems within the school.

In a related note, the board addressed the upcoming retirement of Police Chief Al Smith. While he will step down from his chief position, he is anticipated to return in a different capacity, ensuring continuity in school safety efforts.

Additionally, the board highlighted the innovative aquaponics program led by Mr. Wollets, which has garnered positive attention. Dr. Burns praised the program during the meeting, noting its potential to supply fresh produce for school cafeterias. Trevor will coordinate efforts to integrate the program's produce into school meals, reviving a previous initiative that had been successful in the past.

These discussions reflect the board's commitment to enhancing educational environments and ensuring student safety, with plans for continued innovation in school programs.
