School will resume for Marion County students on Wednesday, August 7th, and motorists will be sharing the road with school buses once again. Please allow additional time in your daily commute to accommodate more traffic, including buses, on the roadways. Our Transportation Department operates with our children’s safety as its number one priority.

The Marion County Board of Education signed the Memorandum of Understanding today with the City of Hamilton and the Hamilton Police Department for 2 SROs to serve the 1,600 students in Hamilton. Shown are Hamilton Mayor Bob Page, Hamilton Police Chief Jordan Carter, Superintendent Ann West, and District Safety Supervisor Patrick Sutton.
“We are honored to provide dedicated protection to the students, faculty and authorized visitors at the Marion County Schools in Hamilton. It is important to clarify that we are required to hire an individual certified by the Alabama Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission, who is a certified law enforcement officer with the power of arrest. Background checks, psychological evaluations, experience and specialized training was factored during the consideration of Hamilton’s SRO/SPO. There was some confusion during the initial hiring announcement, suggesting that the officer would be unarmed. This is not true. Our School Resource Officers/School Protection Officers will be armed with department-issued firearms and non-lethal weapons, as required by state law.” -Chief Carter
