The Letcher County School District could be bringing on a second School Resource Officer this month.
Letcher County Sheriff Billy Jones was previously the SRO and when he became Sheriff was replaced in the schools former Fleming-Neon Chief Allen Bormes.
But the Mountain Eagle reports Jones has recently hired retired Fleming-Neon Police Chief Mike Dingus as a deputy sheriff and the Letcher County Board of Education is expected to vote on funding a second SRO position when they meet this month.
Bormes is currently covering the High School and Dingus would reportedly alternate between Letcher Elementary and Middle School and Arlie Boggs Elementary
