The Vermilion Parish School Superintendent thinks it is an excellent idea for the Louisiana Legislature to pay resource officers in schools. Still, there is one slight problem with that idea.
How are schools going to find these school resource officers? Despite having the funds to pay them, Vermilion Parish is still looking for high school resource officers today.
“Funding would help, but it is more of a human capital issue at this point,” said Superintendent Tommy Byler. “Maybe increasing funding (for resource officers) could draw more interest in these positions.”

DELCAMBRE — The town of Delcambre will make a counter proposal to Coburn’s offer to replace water valves that proved to be defective, the town’s Board of Aldermen decided at Monday’s regular meeting.
Coburn’s offered to replace the valves, Mayor Pam Blakely said, but Alderwoman Sarah Trahan said she didn’t think the town should have to pay to replace the valves after it had already paid to put the valves in to begin with.
