The Central Valley School District hired five new paraprofessionals at Thursday night’s school board meeting, and it was also announced that a school resource officer will be hired for Todd Lane Elementary School and Center Grange Primary School.

The new hires come subsequent with a plea from Superintendent Dr. Nick Perry for interested individuals to come work for the school district. Perry spoke at Thursday night’s meeting to say that cafeteria workers, custodians and paraprofessionals are needed.
