Marysville Public Schools announced this week it will be hiring new, full-time security staff.
Marysville police officer T.J. Williams and retired St. Clair County Sheriff's Office deputy Jeff Green will join the school district in the fall, according to a press release.
Williams will be the district's school resource officer and Green will be the campus safety and security specialist.
Williams and Green will be responsible for responding to on-campus emergencies, crimes involving students, assisting in school-related investigations and sharing information with police departments.
Superintendent Shawn Wightman said in the press release that school safety is a top priority for Marysville's schools, which have nearly 2,700 students. Williams and Green will be playing vital roles in this aspect.
