Cops will patrol CovCath

"Butbutbut aren't you glad you go to a suburban private school instead of one of those inner-city public schools where they need police in the halls? Oh, wait."

When I attended Holmes - a public school - in the early '90s, the school had so few discipline problems that we didn't need police in the school, and I don't remember seeing any. But Covington Catholic is a different story.

CovCath is now placing a Park Hills police officer in the school to quell discipline woes there. The school will be paying 97% of the cost to have a uniformed officer on campus daily. Similar talks are in the works for Notre Dame Academy.

Officials call this a "model project" for other Catholic schools in the Diocese of Covington.

I know firsthand that if any schools around here need cops, it's the Catholic schools. After witnessing such an unexpected breakdown of discipline at Bishop Brossart, it would be hard to convince me otherwise.
