Based on the recent threats received toward students/schools in Lawrence County, I was asked to spend time in uniform at Blaine elementary School.
I got there this morning at 0730 and was met with smiles and hugs from students and was greeted warmly by teachers and their principal.
I felt a general sense of relief from the students as well as adults. I am glad the BOE decided to reach out to local law enforcement. In times like these, it takes a team effort to ward off a potential devastating incident. Our community and kids are worth it!
Daniel Castle
Constable
District 3
EDITOR’S NOTE: It has long been debated whether the position of Constable should be eliminated in Ky. because there is nothing for them to do. Now, there is a perfect fit in the schools, but voters should be careful to elect candidates like Mr. Castle and others who are equipped, trained and willing to guard our students and teachers on a regular basis.
