The city of Taylorville is working with the Taylorville School District to add security at Taylorville High School. The issue will be discussed at a committee meeting Thursday.

Taylorville mayor Bruce Barry says the city has been working on bringing a school resource officer to THS for a while.

Barry is encouraging residents to come to Thursday’s personnel committee meeting to voice their opinions on school security.

Barry appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show.
