Following the Dec. 14 school shooting in Newtown, Conn., Unicoi County officials began work to ensure that local students are protected as they attend classes at Unicoi County Schools.
On Friday, Unicoi County Sheriff Mike Hensley and Erwin Police Chief Regan Tilson said officials are committed to this, and, when students return from the Christmas break in early January, trained officers will be present in all of the county’s schools.
“As the sheriff of Unicoi County, and with the help of all the county officials and the town of Unicoi and the city of Erwin, we were able to work it out to have the schools covered,” Hensley said.
